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-2024-35838 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-2024-35838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-35838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-35838/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-35838","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-35838","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-35838","GHSA-v8fm-4cx6-7vh8","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-35838"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel Wi-Fi","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel Wi-Fi subsystem allows attackers to cause a denial of service by triggering station link allocation failures.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: mac80211: fix potential sta-link leak\n\nWhen a station is allocated, links are added but not\nset to valid yet (e.g. during connection to an AP MLD),\nwe might remove the station without ever marking links\nvalid, and leak them.
