An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-54203 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-2023-54203/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54203/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54203","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54203/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54203","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-92h7-9rvh-996h","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54203"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel SMB server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A slab-out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel's ksmbd module allows attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted SMB1 requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nksmbd: fix slab-out-of-bounds in init_smb2_rsp_hdr\n\nWhen smb1 mount fails, KASAN detect slab-out-of-bounds in\ninit_smb2_rsp_hdr like the following one.\nFor smb1 negotiate(56bytes) , init_smb2_rsp_hdr() for smb2 is called.\nThe issue occurs while handling smb1 negotiate as smb2 server operations.\nAdd smb server operations for smb1 (get_cmd_val, init_rsp_hdr,\nallocate_rsp_buf, check_user_session) to handle smb1 negotiate so that\nsmb2 server operation does not handle it.\n\n[  411.400423] CIFS: VFS: Use of the less secure dialect vers=1.0 is\nnot recommended unless required for access to very old servers\n[  411.400452] CIFS: Attempting to mount \\\\192.168.45.139\\homes\n[  411.479312] ksmbd: init_smb2_rsp_hdr : 492\n[  411.479323] ==================================================================\n[  411.479327] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in\ninit_smb2_rsp_hdr+0x1e2/0x1f4 [ksmbd]\n[  411.479369] Read of size 16 at addr ffff888488ed0734 by task kworker/14:1/199\n\n[  411.479379] CPU: 14 PID: 199 Comm: kworker/14:1 Tainted: G\n OE      6.1.21 #3\n[  411.479386] Hardware name: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
