# CVE-2024-26707: net: hsr: remove WARN_ONCE() in send_hsr_supervision_frame()

> A resource allocation failure in the Linux kernel HSR driver triggers a warning, potentially leading to denial of service or log spam.

- **Severity:** Medium 5.5 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H`)
- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known

- **Attackable:** Local or same network only
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed
- **Fix available:** Yes

## What is CVE-2024-26707?

CVE-2024-26707 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 3 Apr 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: hsr: remove WARN_ONCE() in send_hsr_supervision_frame()

Syzkaller reported [1] hitting a warning after failing to allocate
resources for skb in hsr_init_skb(). Since a WARN_ONCE() call will
not help much in this case, it might be prudent to switch to
netdev_warn_once(). At the very least it will suppress syzkaller
reports such as [1].

Just in case, use netdev_warn_once() in send_prp_supervision_frame()
for similar reasons.

Check this codebase for CVE-2024-26707 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-26707 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 3 Apr 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-26707 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Debian Debian Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
