CVE-2023-53094 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2023-53094: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: fix race on RX DMA shutdown From time to time DMA completion can come in the middle of DMA shutdown: <process ctx>: <IRQ>: lpuart32_shutdown() lpuart_dma_shutdown() del_timer_sync() lpuart_dma_rx_complete() lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty() mod_timer() lpuart_dma_rx_free() When the timer fires a bit later, sport->dma_rx_desc is NULL: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000004 pc : lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty+0xcc/0x5bc lr : lpuart_timer_func+0x1c/0x2c Call trace: lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty lpuart_timer_func call_timer_fn __run_timers.part.0 run_timer_softirq __do_softirq __irq_exit_rcu irq_exit handle_domain_irq gic_handle_irq call_on_irq_stack do_interrupt_handler ... To fix this fold del_timer_sync() into lpuart_dma_rx_free() after dmaengine_terminate_sync() to make sure timer will not be re-started in lpuart_copy_rx_to_tty() <= lpuart_dma_rx_complete().

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2023-53094

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2023-53094 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-2023-53094

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2023-53094.

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-2023-53094, 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.
