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-2023-54159 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-2023-54159/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54159/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54159","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54159/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54159","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-54159","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54159","GHSA-mgqh-xx5m-2h5f","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54159"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel mtu3 USB driver can cause a kernel panic via null pointer dereference, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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\nusb: mtu3: fix kernel panic at qmu transfer done irq handler\n\nWhen handle qmu transfer irq, it will unlock @mtu-\u003elock before give back\nrequest, if another thread handle disconnect event at the same time, and\ntry to disable ep, it may lock @mtu-\u003elock and free qmu ring, then qmu\nirq hanlder may get a NULL gpd, avoid the KE by checking gpd's value before\nhandling it.\n\ne.g.\nqmu done irq on cpu0                 thread running on cpu1\n\nqmu_done_tx()\n  handle gpd [0]\n    mtu3_requ_complete()        mtu3_gadget_ep_disable()\n      unlock @mtu-\u003elock\n        give back request         lock @mtu-\u003elock\n                                    mtu3_ep_disable()\n                                      mtu3_gpd_ring_free()\n                                   unlock @mtu-\u003elock\n      lock @mtu-\u003elock\n    get next gpd [1]\n\n[1]: goto [0] to handle next gpd, and next gpd may be NULL.","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":"usb: mtu3: fix kernel panic at qmu transfer done irq handler","id":"CVE-2023-54159","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"firmware: arm_sdei: Fix sleep from invalid context BUG","id":"CVE-2023-54160"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"btrfs: don't free qgroup space unless specified","id":"CVE-2023-54158"},"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 race condition in the Linux kernel mtu3 USB driver can cause a kernel panic via null pointer dereference, leading to denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54159/"}
