FKIE_CVE-2023-53659
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-10-07 16:15 - Updated: 2026-08-04 10:19
Severity
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
7.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
7.1 (High) - CVSS:3.1/
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: Fix out-of-bounds when setting channels on remove
If we set channels greater during iavf_remove(), and waiting reset done
would be timeout, then returned with error but changed num_active_queues
directly, that will lead to OOB like the following logs. Because the
num_active_queues is greater than tx/rx_rings[] allocated actually.
Reproducer:

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
