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-2024-40911 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-2024-40911/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40911/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-40911","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40911/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-40911","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-40911","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-40911","GHSA-8xrm-p372-wx3c","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-40911","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-40911"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A missing lock in the Linux kernel WiFi subsystem causes a NULL pointer dereference, leading to a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: cfg80211: Lock wiphy in cfg80211_get_station\n\nWiphy should be locked before calling rdev_get_station() (see lockdep\nassert in ieee80211_get_station()).\n\nThis fixes the following kernel NULL dereference:\n\n Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000050\n Mem abort info:\n   ESR = 0x0000000096000006\n   EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits\n   SET = 0, FnV = 0\n   EA = 0, S1PTW = 0\n   FSC = 0x06: level 2 translation fault\n Data abort info:\n   ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000006\n   CM = 0, WnR = 0\n user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000003001000\n [0000000000000050] pgd=0800000002dca003, p4d=0800000002dca003, pud=08000000028e9003, pmd=0000000000000000\n Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000006 [#1] SMP\n Modules linked in: netconsole dwc3_meson_g12a dwc3_of_simple dwc3 ip_gre gre ath10k_pci ath10k_core ath9k ath9k_common ath9k_hw ath\n CPU: 0 PID: 1091 Comm: kworker/u8:0 Not tainted 6.4.0-02144-g565f9a3a7911-dirty #705\n Hardware name: RPT (r1) (DT)\n Workqueue: bat_events batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update\n pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)\n pc : ath10k_sta_statistics+0x10/0x2dc [ath10k_core]\n lr : sta_set_sinfo+0xcc/0xbd4\n sp : ffff000007b43ad0\n x29: ffff000007b43ad0 x28: ffff0000071fa900 x27: ffff00000294ca98\n x26: ffff000006830880 x25: ffff000006830880 x24: ffff00000294c000\n x23: 0000000000000001 x22: ffff000007b43c90 x21: ffff800008898acc\n x20: ffff00000294c6e8 x19: ffff000007b43c90 x18: 0000000000000000\n x17: 445946354d552d78 x16: 62661f7200000000 x15: 57464f445946354d\n x14: 0000000000000000 x13: 00000000000000e3 x12: d5f0acbcebea978e\n x11: 00000000000000e3 x10: 000000010048fe41 x9 : 0000000000000000\n x8 : ffff000007b43d90 x7 : 000000007a1e2125 x6 : 0000000000000000\n x5 : ffff0000024e0900 x4 : ffff800000a0250c x3 : ffff000007b43c90\n x2 : ffff00000294ca98 x1 : ffff000006831920 x0 : 0000000000000000\n Call trace:\n  ath10k_sta_statistics+0x10/0x2dc [ath10k_core]\n  sta_set_sinfo+0xcc/0xbd4\n  ieee80211_get_station+0x2c/0x44\n  cfg80211_get_station+0x80/0x154\n  batadv_v_elp_get_throughput+0x138/0x1fc\n  batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update+0x1c/0xa4\n  process_one_work+0x1ec/0x414\n  worker_thread+0x70/0x46c\n  kthread+0xdc/0xe0\n  ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n Code: a9bb7bfd 910003fd a90153f3 f9411c40 (f9402814)\n\nThis happens because STA has time to disconnect and reconnect before\nbatadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update() delayed work gets scheduled.
