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-2023-54185 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-2023-54185/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54185/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54185","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54185/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54185","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-54185","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54185","GHSA-px78-h2pc-q658","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2023-54185","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2023-54185","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54185"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can trigger a kernel crash in the btrfs filesystem by exploiting missing error handling in free space management, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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\nbtrfs: remove BUG_ON()'s in add_new_free_space()\n\nAt add_new_free_space() we have these BUG_ON()'s that are there to deal\nwith any failure to add free space to the in memory free space cache.\nSuch failures are mostly -ENOMEM that should be very rare.
