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-2021-47612 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-2021-47612/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47612/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-47612","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47612/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-47612","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-47612","GHSA-7vv8-23mh-rqfj","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-47612"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NFC","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel NFC subsystem allows local attackers to cause a system crash via a failed memory allocation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfc: fix segfault in nfc_genl_dump_devices_done\n\nWhen kmalloc in nfc_genl_dump_devices() fails then\nnfc_genl_dump_devices_done() segfaults as below\n\nKASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000008-0x000000000000000f]\nCPU: 0 PID: 25 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 5.16.0-rc4-01180-g2a987e65025e-dirty #5\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-6.fc35 04/01/2014\nWorkqueue: events netlink_sock_destruct_work\nRIP: 0010:klist_iter_exit+0x26/0x80\nCall Trace:\n\u003cTASK\u003e\nclass_dev_iter_exit+0x15/0x20\nnfc_genl_dump_devices_done+0x3b/0x50\ngenl_lock_done+0x84/0xd0\nnetlink_sock_destruct+0x8f/0x270\n__sk_destruct+0x64/0x3b0\nsk_destruct+0xa8/0xd0\n__sk_free+0x2e8/0x3d0\nsk_free+0x51/0x90\nnetlink_sock_destruct_work+0x1c/0x20\nprocess_one_work+0x411/0x710\nworker_thread+0x6fd/0xa80","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":"nfc: fix segfault in nfc_genl_dump_devices_done","id":"CVE-2021-47612","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"i2c: virtio: fix completion handling","id":"CVE-2021-47613"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"mac80211: validate extended element ID is present","id":"CVE-2021-47611"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-06-19","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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel NFC subsystem allows local attackers to cause a system crash via a failed memory allocation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47612/"}
