CVE-2023-53636

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.8)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

clk: microchip: fix potential UAF in auxdev release callback

Similar to commit 1c11289b34ab ("peci: cpu: Fix use-after-free in adev_release()"), the auxiliary device is not torn down in the correct order. If auxiliary_device_add() fails, the release callback will be called twice, resulting in a UAF. Due to timing, the auxdev code in this driver "took inspiration" from the aforementioned commit, and thus its bugs too!

Moving auxiliary_device_uninit() to the unregister callback instead avoids the issue.

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

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).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vulnerabilidad local (AV:L/PR:L) de use-after-free (CWE-416) en kernel Linux que requiere privilegios locales; explotación típica de T1068. UAF puede permitir ejecución de código arbitrario (T1059) con contexto elevado.

Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
