It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-53037 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.8 (Moderate) - EPSS: 0.0021 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Feb 26, 2025 - Weakness: Use After Free - Vendor advisory: https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2023-53037 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: mpi3mr: Bad drive in topology results kernel crash When the SAS Transport Layer support is enabled and a device exposed to the OS by the driver fails INQUIRY commands, the driver frees up the memory allocated for an internal HBA port data structure. However, in some places, the reference to the freed memory is not cleared. When the firmware sends the Device Info change event for the same device again, the freed memory is accessed and that leads to memory corruption and OS crash. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | bpftool-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-headers amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf-static amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.1.106-116.188 amzn 2023 | 1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-modules-extra amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-modules-extra-common amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-tools amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | linux Debian 12.15 (bookworm) | 6.1.25-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53037](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-53037.md) | May 2, 2025 | | Linux | linux Debian 13.5 (trixie) | 6.1.25-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53037](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-53037.md) | May 2, 2025 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 6.1.25-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53037](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-53037.md) | May 2, 2025 | | Linux | perf amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | perf-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | python3-perf amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | | Linux | python3-perf-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.106-116.188.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-864](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-864.md) | Feb 26, 2025 | --- Data as of 2026-11-09T13:31:49Z UTC.
