It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-54131 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54131/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54131/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54131","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54131/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54131","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-54131","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54131","GHSA-v5xj-7363-557x","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54131"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel rt2x00 Wi-Fi driver allows local attackers to cause denial of service by exhausting kernel memory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: rt2x00: Fix memory leak when handling surveys\n\nWhen removing a rt2x00 device, its associated channel surveys\nare not freed, causing a memory leak observable with kmemleak:\n\nunreferenced object 0xffff9620f0881a00 (size 512):\n  comm \"systemd-udevd\", pid 2290, jiffies 4294906974 (age 33.768s)\n  hex dump (first 32 bytes):\n    70 44 12 00 00 00 00 00 92 8a 00 00 00 00 00 00  pD..............\n    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ab 87 01 00 00 00 00 00  ................\n  backtrace:\n    [\u003cffffffffb0ed858b\u003e] __kmalloc+0x4b/0x130\n    [\u003cffffffffc1b0f29b\u003e] rt2800_probe_hw+0xc2b/0x1380 [rt2800lib]\n    [\u003cffffffffc1a9496e\u003e] rt2800usb_probe_hw+0xe/0x60 [rt2800usb]\n    [\u003cffffffffc1ae491a\u003e] rt2x00lib_probe_dev+0x21a/0x7d0 [rt2x00lib]\n    [\u003cffffffffc1b3b83e\u003e] rt2x00usb_probe+0x1be/0x980 [rt2x00usb]\n    [\u003cffffffffc05981e2\u003e] usb_probe_interface+0xe2/0x310 [usbcore]\n    [\u003cffffffffb13be2d5\u003e] really_probe+0x1a5/0x410\n    [\u003cffffffffb13be5c8\u003e] __driver_probe_device+0x78/0x180\n    [\u003cffffffffb13be6fe\u003e] driver_probe_device+0x1e/0x90\n    [\u003cffffffffb13be972\u003e] __driver_attach+0xd2/0x1c0\n    [\u003cffffffffb13bbc57\u003e] bus_for_each_dev+0x77/0xd0\n    [\u003cffffffffb13bd2a2\u003e] bus_add_driver+0x112/0x210\n    [\u003cffffffffb13bfc6c\u003e] driver_register+0x5c/0x120\n    [\u003cffffffffc0596ae8\u003e] usb_register_driver+0x88/0x150 [usbcore]\n    [\u003cffffffffb0c011c4\u003e] do_one_initcall+0x44/0x220\n    [\u003cffffffffb0d6134c\u003e] do_init_module+0x4c/0x220\n\nFix this by freeing the channel surveys on device removal.\n\nTested with a RT3070 based USB wireless adapter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"wifi: rt2x00: Fix memory leak when handling surveys","id":"CVE-2023-54131","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"erofs: stop parsing non-compact HEAD index if clusterofs is invalid","id":"CVE-2023-54132"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"hfs/hfsplus: avoid WARN_ON() for sanity check, use proper error handling","id":"CVE-2023-54130"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-24","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel rt2x00 Wi-Fi driver allows local attackers to cause denial of service by exhausting kernel memory.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54131/"}
