Overview

CVE-2023-53015 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on March 27, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: betop: check shape of output reports

betopff_init() only checks the total sum of the report counts for each

report field to be at least 4, but hid_betopff_play() expects 4 report

fields.

A device advertising an output report with one field and 4 report counts

would pass the check but crash the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference

in hid_betopff_play().

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
