CVE-2023-53065 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2023-53065: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Fix perf_output_begin parameter is incorrectly invoked in perf_event_bpf_output syzkaller reportes a KASAN issue with stack-out-of-bounds. The call trace is as follows: dump_stack+0x9c/0xd3 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x19/0x170 __kasan_report.cold+0x6c/0x84 kasan_report+0x3a/0x50 __perf_event_header__init_id+0x34/0x290 perf_event_header__init_id+0x48/0x60 perf_output_begin+0x4a4/0x560 perf_event_bpf_output+0x161/0x1e0 perf_iterate_sb_cpu+0x29e/0x340 perf_iterate_sb+0x4c/0xc0 perf_event_bpf_event+0x194/0x2c0 __bpf_prog_put.constprop.0+0x55/0xf0 __cls_bpf_delete_prog+0xea/0x120 [cls_bpf] cls_bpf_delete_prog_work+0x1c/0x30 [cls_bpf] process_one_work+0x3c2/0x730 worker_thread+0x93/0x650 kthread+0x1b8/0x210 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 commit 267fb27352b6 ("perf: Reduce stack usage of perf_output_begin()") use on-stack struct perf_sample_data of the caller function. However, perf_event_bpf_output uses incorrect parameter to convert small-sized data (struct perf_bpf_event) into large-sized data (struct perf_sample_data), which causes memory overwriting occurs in __perf_event_header__init_id.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2023-53065

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2023-53065 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2023-53065

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2023-53065.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2023-53065, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
