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-2024-26725 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-2024-26725/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26725/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-26725","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26725/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-26725","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-26725","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-26725","GHSA-jgpw-6hf2-c2m5","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-26725"],"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 deadlock in the Linux kernel DPLL subsystem during netlink dump operations can cause a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndpll: fix possible deadlock during netlink dump operation\n\nRecently, I've been hitting following deadlock warning during dpll pin\ndump:\n\n[52804.637962] ======================================================\n[52804.638536] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected\n[52804.639111] 6.8.0-rc2jiri+ #1 Not tainted\n[52804.639529] ------------------------------------------------------\n[52804.640104] python3/2984 is trying to acquire lock:\n[52804.640581] ffff88810e642678 (nlk_cb_mutex-GENERIC){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: netlink_dump+0xb3/0x780\n[52804.641417]\n               but task is already holding lock:\n[52804.642010] ffffffff83bde4c8 (dpll_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: dpll_lock_dumpit+0x13/0x20\n[52804.642747]\n               which lock already depends on the new lock.\n\n[52804.643551]\n               the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:\n[52804.644259]\n               -\u003e #1 (dpll_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}:\n[52804.644836]        lock_acquire+0x174/0x3e0\n[52804.645271]        __mutex_lock+0x119/0x1150\n[52804.645723]        dpll_lock_dumpit+0x13/0x20\n[52804.646169]        genl_start+0x266/0x320\n[52804.646578]        __netlink_dump_start+0x321/0x450\n[52804.647056]        genl_family_rcv_msg_dumpit+0x155/0x1e0\n[52804.647575]        genl_rcv_msg+0x1ed/0x3b0\n[52804.648001]        netlink_rcv_skb+0xdc/0x210\n[52804.648440]        genl_rcv+0x24/0x40\n[52804.648831]        netlink_unicast+0x2f1/0x490\n[52804.649290]        netlink_sendmsg+0x36d/0x660\n[52804.649742]        __sock_sendmsg+0x73/0xc0\n[52804.650165]        __sys_sendto+0x184/0x210\n[52804.650597]        __x64_sys_sendto+0x72/0x80\n[52804.651045]        do_syscall_64+0x6f/0x140\n[52804.651474]        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0x4e\n[52804.652001]\n               -\u003e #0 (nlk_cb_mutex-GENERIC){+.+.}-{3:3}:\n[52804.652650]        check_prev_add+0x1ae/0x1280\n[52804.653107]        __lock_acquire+0x1ed3/0x29a0\n[52804.653559]        lock_acquire+0x174/0x3e0\n[52804.653984]        __mutex_lock+0x119/0x1150\n[52804.654423]        netlink_dump+0xb3/0x780\n[52804.654845]        __netlink_dump_start+0x389/0x450\n[52804.655321]        genl_family_rcv_msg_dumpit+0x155/0x1e0\n[52804.655842]        genl_rcv_msg+0x1ed/0x3b0\n[52804.656272]        netlink_rcv_skb+0xdc/0x210\n[52804.656721]        genl_rcv+0x24/0x40\n[52804.657119]        netlink_unicast+0x2f1/0x490\n[52804.657570]        netlink_sendmsg+0x36d/0x660\n[52804.658022]        __sock_sendmsg+0x73/0xc0\n[52804.658450]        __sys_sendto+0x184/0x210\n[52804.658877]        __x64_sys_sendto+0x72/0x80\n[52804.659322]        do_syscall_64+0x6f/0x140\n[52804.659752]        entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0x4e\n[52804.660281]\n               other info that might help us debug this:\n\n[52804.661077]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:\n\n[52804.661671]        CPU0                    CPU1\n[52804.662129]        ----                    ----\n[52804.662577]   lock(dpll_lock);\n[52804.662924]                                lock(nlk_cb_mutex-GENERIC);\n[52804.663538]                                lock(dpll_lock);\n[52804.664073]   lock(nlk_cb_mutex-GENERIC);\n[52804.664490]\n\nThe issue as follows: __netlink_dump_start() calls control-\u003estart(cb)\nwith nlk-\u003ecb_mutex held.
