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-2023-54260 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-2023-54260/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54260/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54260","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54260/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54260","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-54260","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54260","GHSA-53m3-7xgw-52vj","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54260"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel CIFS module can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service when SMB Direct connection allocation fails.","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\ncifs: Fix lost destroy smbd connection when MR allocate failed\n\nIf the MR allocate failed, the smb direct connection info is NULL,\nthen smbd_destroy() will directly return, then the connection info\nwill be leaked.\n\nLet's set the smb direct connection info to the server before call\nsmbd_destroy().","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":"cifs: Fix lost destroy smbd connection when MR allocate failed","id":"CVE-2023-54260","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"drm/amdkfd: Add missing gfx11 MQD manager callbacks","id":"CVE-2023-54261"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"soundwire: bus: Fix unbalanced pm_runtime_put() causing usage count underflow","id":"CVE-2023-54259"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-30","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 CIFS module can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service when SMB Direct connection allocation fails.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54260/"}
