What is CVE-2023-53671?

A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's srcu functionality that assumes CPU 0 is always online, potentially leading to operational issues when other CPUs serve as the boot CPU. This problem becomes evident during special scenarios such as initiating a kdump kernel with a limited number of CPUs, creating a risk of system hang. Under specific conditions, tasks may become unresponsive for extended periods, impacting overall system stability. Linux users should prioritize applying security patches to mitigate this vulnerability's effects.
