CVE-2023-53640

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—

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

ASoC: lpass: Fix for KASAN use_after_free out of bounds

When we run syzkaller we get below Out of Bounds error.

"KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in regcache_flat_read"

Below is the backtrace of the issue:

By Error checking and checking valid values issue gets rectifies.

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: 0.21%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 10
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 Interpreterexecution45 %

Vulnerabilidad local (AV:L, PR:L) sin interacción de usuario en kernel Linux que permite escalada de privilegios (C:H, I:H, A:H) mediante out-of-bounds en regcache. T1059 secundario por potencial ejecución de código 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.
