It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-47499 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-2021-47499/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47499/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-47499","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47499/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-47499","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-47499","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-47499"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel's KXCJK-1013 accelerometer driver can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\niio: accel: kxcjk-1013: Fix possible memory leak in probe and remove\n\nWhen ACPI type is ACPI_SMO8500, the data-\u003edready_trig will not be set, the\nmemory allocated by iio_triggered_buffer_setup() will not be freed, and cause\nmemory leak as follows:\n\nunreferenced object 0xffff888009551400 (size 512):\n  comm \"i2c-SMO8500-125\", pid 911, jiffies 4294911787 (age 83.852s)\n  hex dump (first 32 bytes):\n    02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................\n    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 e2 e5 c0 ff ff ff ff  ........ .......\n  backtrace:\n    [\u003c0000000041ce75ee\u003e] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x16d/0x360\n    [\u003c000000000aeb17b0\u003e] iio_kfifo_allocate+0x41/0x130 [kfifo_buf]\n    [\u003c000000004b40c1f5\u003e] iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ext+0x2c/0x210 [industrialio_triggered_buffer]\n    [\u003c000000004375b15f\u003e] kxcjk1013_probe+0x10c3/0x1d81 [kxcjk_1013]\n\nFix it by remove data-\u003edready_trig condition in probe and remove.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"iio: accel: kxcjk-1013: Fix possible memory leak in probe and remove","id":"CVE-2021-47499","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"iio: mma8452: Fix trigger reference couting","id":"CVE-2021-47500"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"dm rq: don't queue request to blk-mq during DM suspend","id":"CVE-2021-47498"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-05-24","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel's KXCJK-1013 accelerometer driver can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47499/"}
