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-2024-38588 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2024-38588/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38588/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38588","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38588/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38588","record":{"aliases":["AZL-49329","BELL-CVE-2024-38588","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-38588","GHSA-9fpr-g62f-647w","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-38588"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel ftrace subsystem allows local attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges via race conditions during module loading.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"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-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nftrace: Fix possible use-after-free issue in ftrace_location()\n\nKASAN reports a bug:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_location+0x90/0x120\n  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888141d40010 by task insmod/424\n  CPU: 8 PID: 424 Comm: insmod Tainted: G        W          6.9.0-rc2+\n  [...]\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n   dump_stack_lvl+0x68/0xa0\n   print_report+0xcf/0x610\n   kasan_report+0xb5/0xe0\n   ftrace_location+0x90/0x120\n   register_kprobe+0x14b/0xa40\n   kprobe_init+0x2d/0xff0 [kprobe_example]\n   do_one_initcall+0x8f/0x2d0\n   do_init_module+0x13a/0x3c0\n   load_module+0x3082/0x33d0\n   init_module_from_file+0xd2/0x130\n   __x64_sys_finit_module+0x306/0x440\n   do_syscall_64+0x68/0x140\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x71/0x79\n\nThe root cause is that, in lookup_rec(), ftrace record of some address\nis being searched in ftrace pages of some module, but those ftrace pages\nat the same time is being freed in ftrace_release_mod() as the\ncorresponding module is being deleted:\n\n           CPU1                       |      CPU2\n  register_kprobes() {                | delete_module() {\n    check_kprobe_address_safe() {     |\n      arch_check_ftrace_location() {  |\n        ftrace_location() {           |\n          lookup_rec() // USE!        |   ftrace_release_mod() // Free!\n\nTo fix this issue:\n  1.
