# CVE-2024-39467: f2fs: fix to do sanity check on i_xattr_nid in sanity_check_inode() > A missing sanity check in the Linux kernel's F2FS filesystem allows out-of-bounds memory access, potentially causing a system crash. - **Severity:** High 7.8 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Any signed-in user - **Attackable:** Local or same network only - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 25 Jun 2024 - **Updated:** 5 Aug 2026 - **Also known as:** BELL-CVE-2024-39467, DEBIAN-CVE-2024-39467, GHSA-wpx2-jqxx-pcch, UBUNTU-CVE-2024-39467 ## What is CVE-2024-39467? CVE-2024-39467 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 25 Jun 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. ### Official description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: fix to do sanity check on i_xattr_nid in sanity_check_inode() syzbot reports a kernel bug as below: F2FS-fs (loop0): Mounted with checkpoint version = 48b305e4 ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in f2fs_test_bit fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:2933 [inline] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in current_nat_addr fs/f2fs/node.h:213 [inline] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in f2fs_get_node_info+0xece/0x1200 fs/f2fs/node.c:600 Read of size 1 at addr ffff88807a58c76c by task syz-executor280/5076 CPU: 1 PID: 5076 Comm: syz-executor280 Not tainted 6.9.0-rc5-syzkaller #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 03/27/2024 Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:88 [inline] dump_stack_lvl+0x241/0x360 lib/dump_stack.c:114 print_address_description mm/kasan/report.c:377 [inline] print_report+0x169/0x550 mm/kasan/report.c:488 kasan_report+0x143/0x180 mm/kasan/report.c:601 f2fs_test_bit fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:2933 [inline] current_nat_addr fs/f2fs/node.h:213 [inline] f2fs_get_node_info+0xece/0x1200 fs/f2fs/node.c:600 f2fs_xattr_fiemap fs/f2fs/data.c:1848 [inline] f2fs_fiemap+0x55d/0x1ee0 fs/f2fs/data.c:1925 ioctl_fiemap fs/ioctl.c:220 [inline] do_vfs_ioctl+0x1c07/0x2e50 fs/ioctl.c:838 __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:902 [inline] __se_sys_ioctl+0x81/0x170 fs/ioctl.c:890 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline] do_syscall_64+0xf5/0x240 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f The root cause is we missed to do sanity check on i_xattr_nid during f2fs_iget(), so that in fiemap() path, current_nat_addr() will access nat_bitmap w/ offset from invalid i_xattr_nid, result in triggering kasan bug report, fix it.

What it is: CVE-2024-39467 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 25 Jun 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-39467 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page. Task: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
