CVE-2023-53377

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—

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

cifs: prevent use-after-free by freeing the cfile later

In smb2_compound_op we have a possible use-after-free which can cause hard to debug problems later on.

This was revealed during stress testing with KASAN enabled kernel. Fixing it by moving the cfile free call to a few lines below, after the usage.

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: 0.15%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 3
Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026

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).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

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

ExplotaciónT1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 %
Impacto principalT1059 Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 %

Acceso local (AV:L) sin interacción con privilegios (PR:L) típico de escalada de kernel. Use-after-free puede permitir ejecución de código arbitrario con privilegios elevados.

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.
