CVE-2023-52672

CVE-2023-52672 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's pipe subsystem caused by a regression in how pipes are resized. When a pipe is full and resized, incorrect handling of wakeups for writers can lead to deadlocks or system lockups. This issue has been resolved by ensuring that the pipe's usage limits are updated before wakeup calls are triggered, avoiding race conditions. Updating to a patched kernel version will mitigate this vulnerability and ensure system stability.
