CVE-2023-53640: 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: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in regcache_flat_read+0x10c/0x110 Read of size 4 at addr ffffff8088fbf714 by task syz-executor.4/14144 CPU: 6 PID: 14144 Comm: syz-executor.4 Tainted: G W Hardware name: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. sc7280 CRD platform (rev5+) (DT) Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x4ec show_stack+0x34/0x50 dump_stack_lvl+0xdc/0x11c print_address_description+0x30/0x2d8 kasan_report+0x178/0x1e4 __asan_report_load4_noabort+0x44/0x50 regcache_flat_read+0x10c/0x110 regcache_read+0xf8/0x5a0 _regmap_read+0x45c/0x86c _regmap_update_bits+0x128/0x290 regmap_update_bits_base+0xc0/0x15c snd_soc_component_update_bits+0xa8/0x22c snd_soc_component_write_field+0x68/0xd4 tx_macro_put_dec_enum+0x1d0/0x268 snd_ctl_elem_write+0x288/0x474 By Error checking and checking valid values issue gets rectifies.
The exploitability of CVE-2023-53640 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).
No exploitability data is available for CVE-2023-53640.
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.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2023-53640, 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.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2023-53640, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
