CVE-2023-53838
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: synchronize atomic write aborts
To fix a race condition between atomic write aborts, I use the inode lock and make COW inode to be re-usable thoroughout the whole atomic file inode lifetime.
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: 0.19%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 8
- 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).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1565.001Stored Data Manipulationimpact75 % - Impacto secundario
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact65 %
AV:L, PR:L, UI:N indica escalada local sin interacción (T1068). Race condition en f2fs permite modificar datos (C:H, I:H) o causar DoS (A:H) con permisos 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.
