CVE-2023-53471: linux kernel vulnerability

What is known

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/gfx: disable gfx9 cp_ecc_error_irq only when enabling legacy gfx ras gfx9 cp_ecc_error_irq is only enabled when legacy gfx ras is assert. So in gfx_v9_0_hw_fini, interrupt disablement for cp_ecc_error_irq should be executed under such condition, otherwise, an amdgpu_irq_put calltrace will occur.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2023-53471, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.8) affecting linux kernel, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether linux kernel is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
