Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-53684 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 5.5 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0015 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Jul 1, 2025 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: Zero padding when dumping algos and encap When copying data to user-space we should ensure that only valid data is copied over. Padding in structures may be filled with random (possibly sensitve) data and should never be given directly to user-space. This patch fixes the copying of xfrm algorithms and the encap template in xfrm_user so that padding is zeroed. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | bpftool-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-headers amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf-static amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.1.23-36.46 amzn 2023 | 1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-tools amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | kernel-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | linux Debian 12.15 (bookworm) | 6.1.25-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53684](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-53684.md) | Oct 7, 2025 | | Linux | linux Debian 13.5 (trixie) | 6.1.25-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53684](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-53684.md) | Oct 7, 2025 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 6.1.25-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-53684](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-53684.md) | Oct 7, 2025 | | Linux | perf amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | perf-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | python3-perf amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | | Linux | python3-perf-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.23-36.46.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1054](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1054.md) | Jul 1, 2025 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T13:06:02Z UTC.
