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-2024-42106 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-2024-42106/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42106/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42106","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42106/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42106","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-42106","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-42106","GHSA-v2jg-x6cv-qjcg","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-42106"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger an uninitialized memory access in the Linux kernel's inet_diag module, potentially leaking sensitive kernel memory contents.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-908","name":"Use of Uninitialized Resource"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ninet_diag: Initialize pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2\n\nKMSAN reported uninit-value access in raw_lookup() [1]. Diag for raw\nsockets uses the pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2 for the\nunderlying protocol. This field corresponds to the sdiag_raw_protocol\nfield in struct inet_diag_req_raw.\n\ninet_diag_get_exact_compat() converts inet_diag_req to\ninet_diag_req_v2, but leaves the pad field uninitialized. So the issue\noccurs when raw_lookup() accesses the sdiag_raw_protocol field.\n\nFix this by initializing the pad field in\ninet_diag_get_exact_compat(). Also, do the same fix in\ninet_diag_dump_compat() to avoid the similar issue in the future.\n\n[1]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in raw_lookup net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:49 [inline]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in
