CVE-2023-53659

Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.1)—

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

iavf: Fix out-of-bounds when setting channels on remove

If we set channels greater during iavf_remove(), and waiting reset done would be timeout, then returned with error but changed num_active_queues directly, that will lead to OOB like the following logs. Because the num_active_queues is greater than tx/rx_rings[] allocated actually.

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.16%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 5
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 principalT1499.004 Application or System Exploitationimpact80 %

Acceso local sin interacción (AV:L/PR:L/UI:N) permite escalada mediante race condition en iavf_remove(). El OOB en lectura/escritura de memoria causa DoS (crash del kernel) en el controlador de red.

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.
