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-2024-36944 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-2024-36944/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-36944/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-36944","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-36944/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-36944","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-36944","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-36944","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-36944"],"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 circular locking dependency in the qxl driver causes a system hang during boot, resulting in 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":"cisa-adp","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\nReapply \"drm/qxl: simplify qxl_fence_wait\"\n\nThis reverts commit 07ed11afb68d94eadd4ffc082b97c2331307c5ea.\n\nStephen Rostedt reports:\n \"I went to run my tests on my VMs and the tests hung on boot up.\n  Unfortunately, the most I ever got out was:\n\n  [   93.607888] Testing event system initcall: OK\n  [   93.667730] Running tests on all trace events:\n  [   93.669757] Testing all events: OK\n  [   95.631064] ------------[ cut here ]------------\n  Timed out after 60 seconds\"\n\nand further debugging points to a possible circular locking dependency\nbetween the console_owner locking and the worker pool locking.\n\nReverting the commit allows Steve's VM to boot to completion again.\n\n[ This may obviously result in the \"[TTM] Buffer eviction failed\"\n  messages again, which was the reason for that original revert.
