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-2024-40943 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-2024-40943/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40943/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-40943","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40943/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-40943","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-40943","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-40943","GHSA-rr6m-3x7m-qjff","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-40943"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel filesystem","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the OCFS2 filesystem can cause on-disk corruption and force the filesystem into read-only mode, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nocfs2: fix races between hole punching and AIO+DIO\n\nAfter commit \"ocfs2: return real error code in ocfs2_dio_wr_get_block\",\nfstests/generic/300 become from always failed to sometimes failed:\n\n========================================================================\n[  473.293420 ] run fstests generic/300\n\n[  475.296983 ] JBD2: Ignoring recovery information on journal\n[  475.302473 ] ocfs2: Mounting device (253,1) on (node local, slot 0) with ordered data mode.\n[  494.290998 ] OCFS2: ERROR (device dm-1): ocfs2_change_extent_flag: Owner 5668 has an extent at cpos 78723 which can no longer be found\n[  494.291609 ] On-disk corruption discovered.
