CVE-2023-53816
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: fix potential kgd_mem UAFs
kgd_mem pointers returned by kfd_process_device_translate_handle are only guaranteed to be valid while p->mutex is held. As soon as the mutex is unlocked, another thread can free the BO.
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: 0.14%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 3
- 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).
