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-2024-37078 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-2024-37078/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-37078/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-37078","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-37078/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-37078","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-37078","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-37078","GHSA-gw4q-m5c4-p6fm","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-37078"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel filesystem","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the nilfs2 filesystem can cause a kernel bug and system crash when destructive writes occur on the mounted block device.","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":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnilfs2: fix potential kernel bug due to lack of writeback flag waiting\n\nDestructive writes to a block device on which nilfs2 is mounted can cause\na kernel bug in the folio/page writeback start routine or writeback end\nroutine (__folio_start_writeback in the log below):\n\n kernel BUG at mm/page-writeback.c:3070!\n Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI\n ...\n RIP: 0010:__folio_start_writeback+0xbaa/0x10e0\n Code: 25 ff 0f 00 00 0f 84 18 01 00 00 e8 40 ca c6 ff e9 17 f6 ff ff\n  e8 36 ca c6 ff 4c 89 f7 48 c7 c6 80 c0 12 84 e8 e7 b3 0f 00 90 \u003c0f\u003e\n  0b e8 1f ca c6 ff 4c 89 f7 48 c7 c6 a0 c6 12 84 e8 d0 b3 0f 00\n ...\n Call Trace:\n  \u003cTASK\u003e\n  nilfs_segctor_do_construct+0x4654/0x69d0 [nilfs2]\n  nilfs_segctor_construct+0x181/0x6b0 [nilfs2]\n  nilfs_segctor_thread+0x548/0x11c0 [nilfs2]\n  kthread+0x2f0/0x390\n  ret_from_fork+0x4b/0x80\n  ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n  \u003c/TASK\u003e\n\nThis is because when the log writer starts a writeback for segment summary\nblocks or a super root block that use the backing device's page cache, it\ndoes not wait for the ongoing folio/page writeback, resulting in an\ninconsistent writeback state.\n\nFix this issue by waiting for ongoing writebacks when putting\nfolios/pages on the backing device into writeback state.","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":"nilfs2: fix potential kernel bug due to lack of writeback flag waiting","id":"CVE-2024-37078","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"Broadcom VMware vCenter Server Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2024-37079"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Arkcompiler Ets Runtime has an out-of-bounds write vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37077"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-06-25","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the nilfs2 filesystem can cause a kernel bug and system crash when destructive writes occur on the mounted block device.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-37078/"}
