CVE-2023-52983
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block, bfq: fix uaf for bfqq in bic_set_bfqq()
After commit 64dc8c732f5c ("block, bfq: fix possible uaf for 'bfqq->bic'"), bic->bfqq will be accessed in bic_set_bfqq(), however, in some context bic->bfqq will be freed, and bic_set_bfqq() is called with the freed bic->bfqq.
Fix the problem by always freeing bfqq after bic_set_bfqq().
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.28%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 18
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
