CVE-2023-53082 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.8

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vp_vdpa: fix the crash in hot unplug with vp_vdpa While unplugging the vp_vdpa device, it triggers a kernel panic The root cause is: vdpa_mgmtdev_unregister() will accesses modern devices which will cause a use after free. So need to change the sequence in vp_vdpa_remove [ 195.003359] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ff4e8beb80199014 [ 195.004012] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [ 195.004486] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [ 195.004960] PGD 100000067 P4D 1001b6067 PUD 1001b7067 PMD 1001b8067 PTE 0 [ 195.005578] Oops: 0000 1 PREEMPT SMP PTI [ 195.005968] CPU: 13 PID: 164 Comm: kworker/u56:10 Kdump: loaded Not tainted 5.14.0-252.el9.x86_64 #1 [ 195.006792] Hardware name: Red Hat KVM/RHEL, BIOS edk2-20221207gitfff6d81270b5-2.el9 unknown [ 195.007556] Workqueue: kacpi_hotplug acpi_hotplug_work_fn [ 195.008059] RIP: 0010:ioread8+0x31/0x80 [ 195.008418] Code: 77 28 48 81 ff 00 00 01 00 76 0b 89 fa ec 0f b6 c0 c3 cc cc cc cc 8b 15 ad 72 93 01 b8 ff 00 00 00 85 d2 75 0f c3 cc cc cc cc <8a> 07 0f b6 c0 c3 cc cc cc cc 83 ea 01 48 83 ec 08 48 89 fe 48 c7 [ 195.010104] RSP: 0018:ff4e8beb806…

Matched remediation archetype

Use-after-free, double free, and expired resource use

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace ownership, references, callbacks, asynchronous tasks, and teardown paths around the affected object or resource.
  • Identify reachable inputs and timing or state transitions that can release the object while references remain.
  • Confirm affected builds, allocators, feature flags, architectures, and process privileges.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained ownership or lifetime fix and rebuild all artifacts containing the affected native code.
  • Use explicit ownership, safe reference management, cancellation and join semantics, and idempotent teardown.
  • Add deterministic lifetime tests plus isolated sanitizer and concurrency coverage for shutdown and error paths.
