4.7 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2023-53345 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on September 17, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.7 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.7, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix potential data race in rxrpc_wait_to_be_connected()
Inside the loop in rxrpc_wait_to_be_connected() it checks call->error to
see if it should exit the loop without first checking the call state. This
is probably safe as if call->error is set, the call is dead anyway, but we
should probably wait for the call state to have been set to completion
first, lest it cause surprise on the way out.
Fix this by only accessing call->error if the call is complete. We don't
actually need to access the error inside the loop as we'll do that after.
This caused the following report:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in rxrpc_send_data / rxrpc_set_call_completion
