{"cve":"CVE-2023-52609","nvd":{"published":"2024-03-18T11:15:07.743","modified":"2026-06-17T06:43:09.087","status":"Analyzed","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbinder: fix race between mmput() and do_exit()\n\nTask A calls binder_update_page_range() to allocate and insert pages on\na remote address space from Task B. For this, Task A pins the remote mm\nvia mmget_not_zero() first. This can race with Task B do_exit() and the\nfinal mmput() refcount decrement will come from Task A.\n\n  Task A            | Task B\n  ------------------+------------------\n  mmget_not_zero()  |\n                    |  do_exit()\n                    |    exit_mm()\n                    |      mmput()\n  mmput()           |\n    exit_mmap()     |\n      remove_vma()  |\n        fput()      |\n\nIn this case, the work of ____fput() from Task B is queued up in Task A\nas TWA_RESUME. So in theory, Task A returns to userspace and the cleanup\nwork gets executed. However, Task A instead sleep, waiting for a reply\nfrom Task B that never comes (it's dead).\n\nThis means the binder_deferred_release() is blocked until an unrelated\nbinder event forces Task A to go back to userspace. All the associated\ndeath notifications will also be delayed until then.\n\nIn order to fix this use mmput_async() that will schedule the work in\nthe corresponding mm->async_put_work WQ instead of Task A.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":4.7},"cwes":["CWE-362"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/252a2a5569eb9f8d16428872cc24dea1ac0bb097","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6696f76c32ff67fec26823fc2df46498e70d9bf3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/67f16bf2cc1698fd50e01ee8a2becc5a8e6d3a3e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/77d210e8db4d61d43b2d16df66b1ec46fad2ee01","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7e7a0d86542b0ea903006d3f42f33c4f7ead6918"],"products":["debian:debian_linux","linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:46:54.846886191+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-52609","score":0.00185,"percentile":0.08147,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
