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-2024-38541 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-2024-38541/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38541/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38541","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38541/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38541","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-38541","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-38541","GHSA-vjmq-27j9-636j","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-38541","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2024-38541","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2024-38541","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-38541"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A buffer overflow in the Linux kernel's of_modalias function allows attackers to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to code execution or system crashes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nof: module: add buffer overflow check in of_modalias()\n\nIn of_modalias(), if the buffer happens to be too small even for the 1st\nsnprintf() call, the len parameter will become negative and str parameter\n(if not NULL initially) will point beyond the buffer's end.
