CVE-2023-54063 is fixed in 20 products on 1 platform, first by ALAS2023-2023-184, released May 25, 2023. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-54063 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.8 (high) - EPSS: 0.0020 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: May 25, 2023 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/ntfs3: Fix OOB read in indx_insert_into_buffer Syzbot reported a OOB read bug: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in indx_insert_into_buffer+0xaa3/0x13b0 fs/ntfs3/index.c:1755 Read of size 17168 at addr ffff8880255e06c0 by task syz-executor308/3630 Call Trace: memmove+0x25/0x60 mm/kasan/shadow.c:54 indx_insert_into_buffer+0xaa3/0x13b0 fs/ntfs3/index.c:1755 indx_insert_entry+0x446/0x6b0 fs/ntfs3/index.c:1863 ntfs_create_inode+0x1d3f/0x35c0 fs/ntfs3/inode.c:1548 ntfs_create+0x3e/0x60 fs/ntfs3/namei.c:100 lookup_open fs/namei.c:3413 [inline] If the member struct INDEX_BUFFER *index of struct indx_node is incorrect, that is, the value of __le32 used is greater than the value of __le32 total in struct INDEX_HDR. Therefore, OOB read occurs when memmove is called in indx_insert_into_buffer(). Fix this by adding a check in hdr_find_e(). ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | bpftool-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-headers amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-libbpf-static amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.1.29-47.49 amzn 2023 | 1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-tools amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | kernel-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | linux Debian 12.15 (bookworm) | 6.1.37-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54063](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-54063.md) | Dec 24, 2025 | | Linux | linux Debian 13.5 (trixie) | 6.3.7-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54063](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-54063.md) | Dec 24, 2025 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 6.3.7-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2023-54063](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2023-54063.md) | Dec 24, 2025 | | Linux | perf amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | perf-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | python3-perf amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | | Linux | python3-perf-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 6.1.29-47.49.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2023-184](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2023-184.md) | May 25, 2023 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T06:59:42Z UTC.
