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-2023-54318 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-2023-54318/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54318/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-54318","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54318/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-54318","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2023-54318","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54318","GHSA-7984-m77j-cx8w","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-54318"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel SMC","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel's SMC module can cause a kernel crash via NULL pointer dereference during port addition events.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/smc: use smc_lgr_list.lock to protect smc_lgr_list.list iterate in smcr_port_add\n\nWhile doing smcr_port_add, there maybe linkgroup add into or delete\nfrom smc_lgr_list.list at the same time, which may result kernel crash.\nSo, use smc_lgr_list.lock to protect smc_lgr_list.list iterate in\nsmcr_port_add.\n\nThe crash calltrace show below:\nBUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\nPGD 0 P4D 0\nOops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI\nCPU: 0 PID: 559726 Comm: kworker/0:92 Kdump: loaded Tainted: G\nHardware name: Alibaba Cloud Alibaba Cloud ECS, BIOS 449e491 04/01/2014\nWorkqueue: events smc_ib_port_event_work [smc]\nRIP: 0010:smcr_port_add+0xa6/0xf0 [smc]\nRSP: 0000:ffffa5a2c8f67de0 EFLAGS: 00010297\nRAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff9935e0650000 RCX: 0000000000000000\nRDX: 0000000000000010 RSI: ffff9935e0654290 RDI: ffff9935c8560000\nRBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffff9934c0401918\nR10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffffffb4a5c278 R12: ffff99364029aae4\nR13: ffff99364029aa00 R14: 00000000ffffffed R15: ffff99364029ab08\nFS:  0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff994380600000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\nCS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000000f06a10003 CR4: 0000000002770ef0\nPKRU: 55555554\nCall Trace:\n smc_ib_port_event_work+0x18f/0x380 [smc]\n process_one_work+0x19b/0x340\n worker_thread+0x30/0x370\n ? process_one_work+0x340/0x340\n kthread+0x114/0x130\n ? __kthread_cancel_work+0x50/0x50\n ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30","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":"net/smc: use smc_lgr_list.lock to protect smc_lgr_list.list iterate in smcr_port_add","id":"CVE-2023-54318","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"pinctrl: at91-pio4: check return value of devm_kasprintf()","id":"CVE-2023-54319"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"dm flakey: don't corrupt the zero page","id":"CVE-2023-54317"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-30","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel's SMC module can cause a kernel crash via NULL pointer dereference during port addition events.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-54318/"}
