An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-47241 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47241/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47241/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-47241","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47241/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-47241","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-47241","GHSA-hh94-frj2-pf9r","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-47241"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel ethtool module causes a warning and potential crash when calculating message lengths for specific string set requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nethtool: strset: fix message length calculation\n\nOuter nest for ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_STRINGSETS is not accounted for.\nThis may result in ETHTOOL_MSG_STRSET_GET producing a warning like:\n\n    calculated message payload length (684) not sufficient\n    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 30967 at net/ethtool/netlink.c:369 ethnl_default_doit+0x87a/0xa20\n\nand a splat.\n\nAs usually with such warnings three conditions must be met for the warning\nto trigger:\n - there must be no skb size rounding up (e.g. reply_size of 684);\n - string set must be per-device (so that the header gets populated);\n - the device name must be at least 12 characters long.\n\nall in all with current user space it looks like reading priv flags\nis the only place this could potentially happen.
