CVE-2023-53131

Status: AnalyzedMedium (5.5)—

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

SUNRPC: Fix a server shutdown leak

Fix a race where kthread_stop() may prevent the threadfn from ever getting called. If that happens the svc_rqst will not be cleaned up.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
