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-2024-26688 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2024-26688/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26688/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-26688","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26688/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-26688","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-26688","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-26688","GHSA-wfcg-p9mh-53w7","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-26688"],"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 local attacker can cause a kernel crash by passing an invalid page size when mounting a hugetlb filesystem via fsconfig.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"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\nfs,hugetlb: fix NULL pointer dereference in hugetlbs_fill_super\n\nWhen configuring a hugetlb filesystem via the fsconfig() syscall, there is\na possible NULL dereference in hugetlbfs_fill_super() caused by assigning\nNULL to ctx-\u003ehstate in hugetlbfs_parse_param() when the requested pagesize\nis non valid.\n\nE.g: Taking the following steps:\n\n     fd = fsopen(\"hugetlbfs\", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC);\n     fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, \"pagesize\", \"1024\", 0);\n     fsconfig(fd, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0);\n\nGiven that the requested \"pagesize\" is invalid, ctxt-\u003ehstate will be replaced\nwith NULL, losing its previous value, and we will print an error:\n\n ...\n ...\n case Opt_pagesize:\n ps = memparse(param-\u003estring, \u0026rest);\n ctx-\u003ehstate = h;\n if (!ctx-\u003ehstate) {\n         pr_err(\"Unsupported page size %lu MB\\n\", ps / SZ_1M);\n         return -EINVAL;\n }\n return 0;\n ...\n ...\n\nThis is a problem because later on, we will dereference ctxt-\u003ehstate in\nhugetlbfs_fill_super()\n\n ...\n ...\n sb-\u003es_blocksize = huge_page_size(ctx-\u003ehstate);\n ...\n ...\n\nCausing below Oops.\n\nFix this by replacing cxt-\u003ehstate value only when then pagesize is known\nto be valid.\n\n kernel: hugetlbfs: Unsupported page size 0 MB\n kernel: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028\n kernel: #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode\n kernel: #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page\n kernel: PGD 800000010f66c067 P4D 800000010f66c067 PUD 1b22f8067 PMD 0\n kernel: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI\n kernel: CPU: 4 PID: 5659 Comm: syscall Tainted: G            E      6.8.0-rc2-default+ #22 5a47c3fef76212addcc6eb71344aabc35190ae8f\n kernel: Hardware name: Intel Corp.
