For preallocated htab map, these fields are\ninitialized through __GFP_ZERO in bpf_map_area_alloc(), so do the\nsimilar thing for non-preallocated htab in bpf memory allocator. And\nthere is no need to use __GFP_ZERO for per-cpu bpf memory allocator,\nbecause __alloc_percpu_gfp() does it implicitly.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2025-12-09T00:00:47.025+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-15T21:41:36.027+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"include/linux/bpf.h\",\n \"kernel/bpf/hashtab.c\",\n \"kernel/bpf/memalloc.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"0fd7c5d43339b783ee3301a05f925d1e52ac87c9\",\n \"lessThan\": \"678ea18d6240299fd77d7000c8b1d7e5f274c8af\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0fd7c5d43339b783ee3301a05f925d1e52ac87c9\",\n \"lessThan\": \"5d447e04290e78bdc1a3a6c321320d384e09c2f1\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0fd7c5d43339b783ee3301a05f925d1e52ac87c9\",\n \"lessThan\": \"997849c4b969034e225153f41026657def66d286\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n }\n ]\n }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"include/linux/bpf.h\",\n \"kernel/bpf/hashtab.c\",\n \"kernel/bpf/memalloc.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"6.1\",\n \"status\": \"affected\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"6.1\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.1.16\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.2.3\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.2.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.3\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n }\n ]\n }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/678ea18d6240299fd77d7000c8b1d7e5f274c8af","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d447e04290e78bdc1a3a6c321320d384e09c2f1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/997849c4b969034e225153f41026657def66d286"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-53790","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2023-53790","identifiers":["CVE-2023-53790"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
