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-2024-38659 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-2024-38659/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38659/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38659","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38659/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38659","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-38659","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-38659","GHSA-5h94-mxhc-fgxw","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-38659"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing length validation in the enic driver allows out-of-bounds reads, potentially leading to information disclosure 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":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1284","name":"Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nenic: Validate length of nl attributes in enic_set_vf_port\n\nenic_set_vf_port assumes that the nl attribute IFLA_PORT_PROFILE\nis of length PORT_PROFILE_MAX and that the nl attributes\nIFLA_PORT_INSTANCE_UUID, IFLA_PORT_HOST_UUID are of length PORT_UUID_MAX.\nThese attributes are validated (in the function do_setlink in rtnetlink.c)\nusing the nla_policy ifla_port_policy.
