What to do, per Debian release
Debian's own status for CVE-2023-52770 in every release this site tracks, and what each one means in practice. Every status below is the one the Debian Security Team publishes for this CVE. source
| Release | Status | Version | What this means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Debian 12bookworm | vulnerable | 6.1.190-1 | No fix published anywhere yet, neither in Debian nor upstream for the series bookworm tracks. Watch the Debian tracker page for this CVE. Advisories for bookworm have historically landed a median of 23 days after publication. |
| Debian 13trixie | fixed | 6.5.13-1 | Update the kernel and reboot. Fixed in 6.5.13-1. A running kernel keeps the old code until the machine restarts. |
| Debian 14forky | fixed | 6.5.13-1 | Update the kernel and reboot. Fixed in 6.5.13-1. A running kernel keeps the old code until the machine restarts. |
| Debian unstablesid | fixed | 6.5.13-1 | Update the kernel and reboot. Fixed in 6.5.13-1. A running kernel keeps the old code until the machine restarts. |
The vulnerability
What the bug is
Let's allocate the extent_cache tree without dynamic conditions to avoid a missing condition causing a panic as below. # create a file w/ a compressed flag # disable the compression # panic while updating extent_cache F2FS-fs (dm-64): Swapfile: last extent is not aligned to section F2FS-fs (dm-64): Swapfile (3) is not align to section: 1) creat(), 2) ioctl(F2FS_IOC_SET_PIN_FILE), 3) fallocate(2097152 * N) Adding 124996k swap on ./swap-file.

Where it lives
The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

Check it on the machine
grep -w CONFIG_F2FS_FS /boot/config-$(uname -r)Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.
lsmod | grep -w f2fsPrints a line if that module is loaded right now, and nothing if it is not. One that is not loaded can still be loaded later by anything that needs it.
Show whether Debian builds this, per release
Debian builds this, but not on every flavour. At least one release below builds the code on some of its kernel flavours and not on others, so the answer depends on the architecture and flavour installed.
- bookworm, trixie, forky, sidMnot built on amd64/cloud-amd64, arm64/cloud-arm64
- M
- a module where it is built at all; some flavours do not build it
- Build switch
- CONFIG_F2FS_FS
From the configuration Debian publishes for every kernel flavour it builds. It covers only the architectures Debian ships a linux-config package for, and nothing about a kernel you built yourself. Debian's own status above stays authoritative about the source package.MAINTAINERS kbuild Makefiles Debian linux-config packages

Why the CNA scored it this way
The kernel CNA published no CVSS vector and no reasoning for CVE-2023-52770, which is why it is shown as unrated rather than given an invented score. 6,405 of the 20,413 CVEs here carry reasoning; this is not one of them.
