An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-26731 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-2024-26731/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26731/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-26731","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26731/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-26731","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-26731","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-26731","GHSA-x96q-4pr8-5qm2","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-26731"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel BPF sockmap can cause a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a system crash.","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":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf, sockmap: Fix NULL pointer dereference in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()\n\nsyzbot reported the following NULL pointer dereference issue [1]:\n\n  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\n  [...]\n  RIP: 0010:0x0\n  [...]\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n   sk_psock_verdict_data_ready+0x232/0x340 net/core/skmsg.c:1230\n   unix_stream_sendmsg+0x9b4/0x1230 net/unix/af_unix.c:2293\n   sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:730 [inline]\n   __sock_sendmsg+0x221/0x270 net/socket.c:745\n   ____sys_sendmsg+0x525/0x7d0 net/socket.c:2584\n   ___sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2638 [inline]\n   __sys_sendmsg+0x2b0/0x3a0 net/socket.c:2667\n   do_syscall_64+0xf9/0x240\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6f/0x77\n\nIf sk_psock_verdict_data_ready() and sk_psock_stop_verdict() are called\nconcurrently, psock-\u003esaved_data_ready can be NULL, causing the above issue.\n\nThis patch fixes this issue by calling the appropriate data ready function\nusing the sk_psock_data_ready() helper and protecting it from concurrency\nwith sk-\u003esk_callback_lock.","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, sockmap: Fix NULL pointer dereference in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()","id":"CVE-2024-26731","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":4,"next":{"headline":"net: implement lockless setsockopt(SO_PEEK_OFF)","id":"CVE-2024-26732"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"hwmon: (nct6775) Fix access to temperature configuration registers","id":"CVE-2024-26730"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-04-03","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":"2026-05-23","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel BPF sockmap can cause a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a system crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-26731/"}
