CVE-2023-53427

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.1.0-rc5+ #82

Description A use-after-free (UAF) issue exists in the CIFS implementation of the Linux kernel. Specifically, the issue occurs when destroying the Message Response (MR) list. If MR allocation fails, the MR recovery work is not initialized and the list is not cleared, leading to a warning and a UAF condition upon release of the MR.

Recommendations Update the Linux kernel to a version newer than 6.1.0-rc5+ #82 to resolve this issue.
