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-2024-26591 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-2024-26591/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26591/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-26591","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26591/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-26591","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-26591","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-26591","GHSA-x2wh-v69v-x2w9","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-26591"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel BPF subsystem allows local attackers to cause a system crash via specific program attachment sequences.","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\nbpf: Fix re-attachment branch in bpf_tracing_prog_attach\n\nThe following case can cause a crash due to missing attach_btf:\n\n1) load rawtp program\n2) load fentry program with rawtp as target_fd\n3) create tracing link for fentry program with target_fd = 0\n4) repeat 3\n\nIn the end we have:\n\n- prog-\u003eaux-\u003edst_trampoline == NULL\n- tgt_prog == NULL (because we did not provide target_fd to link_create)\n- prog-\u003eaux-\u003eattach_btf == NULL (the program was loaded with attach_prog_fd=X)\n- the program was loaded for tgt_prog but we have no way to find out which one\n\n    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000058\n    Call Trace:\n     \u003cTASK\u003e\n     ? __die+0x20/0x70\n     ? page_fault_oops+0x15b/0x430\n     ? fixup_exception+0x22/0x330\n     ? exc_page_fault+0x6f/0x170\n     ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x22/0x30\n     ? bpf_tracing_prog_attach+0x279/0x560\n     ? btf_obj_id+0x5/0x10\n     bpf_tracing_prog_attach+0x439/0x560\n     __sys_bpf+0x1cf4/0x2de0\n     __x64_sys_bpf+0x1c/0x30\n     do_syscall_64+0x41/0xf0\n     entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76\n\nReturn -EINVAL in this situation.","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":"bpf: Fix re-attachment branch in bpf_tracing_prog_attach","id":"CVE-2024-26591","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"ksmbd: fix UAF issue in ksmbd_tcp_new_connection()","id":"CVE-2024-26592"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"erofs: fix inconsistent per-file compression format","id":"CVE-2024-26590"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-02-22","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 BPF subsystem allows local attackers to cause a system crash via specific program attachment sequences.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26591/"}
