CVE-2023-53759

11
FAUCET Score

CVE-2023-53759 describes a data race vulnerability in the Linux kernel's hidraw driver, specifically within the hidraw_open() function. This flaw, introduced by a prior commit, occurs when concurrently opening a hidraw device, as the device's reference counter lacks proper synchronization. While no CVSS score is provided, its FAUCET Risk Score is 7/100, and it has a very low EPSS score, suggesting minimal predictive exploitability. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this vulnerability.
