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-2024-42253 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-2024-42253/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42253/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42253","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42253/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42253","record":{"aliases":["AZL-48811","BELL-CVE-2024-42253","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-42253","GHSA-gr3w-p7mm-8pcq","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-42253","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2024-42253","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-42253"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel GPIO driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel PCA953x GPIO driver can cause incorrect register writes, potentially leading to system instability or 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-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ngpio: pca953x: fix pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock race\n\nEnsure that `i2c_lock' is held when setting interrupt latch and mask in\npca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock() in order to avoid races.\n\nThe other (non-probe) call site pca953x_gpio_set_multiple() ensures the\nlock is held before calling pca953x_write_regs().\n\nThe problem occurred when a request raced against irq_bus_sync_unlock()\napproximately once per thousand reboots on an i.MX8MP based system.\n\n * Normal case\n\n   0-0022: write register AI|3a {03,02,00,00,01} Input latch P0\n   0-0022: write register AI|49 {fc,fd,ff,ff,fe} Interrupt mask P0\n   0-0022: write register AI|08 {ff,00,00,00,00} Output P3\n   0-0022: write register AI|12 {fc,00,00,00,00} Config P3\n\n * Race case\n\n   0-0022: write register AI|08 {ff,00,00,00,00} Output P3\n   0-0022: write register AI|08 {03,02,00,00,01} *** Wrong register ***\n   0-0022: write register AI|12 {fc,00,00,00,00} Config P3\n   0-0022: write register AI|49 {fc,fd,ff,ff,fe} Interrupt mask P0","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"gpio: pca953x: fix pca953x_irq_bus_sync_unlock race","id":"CVE-2024-42253","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"race_condition","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"io_uring: fix error pbuf checking","id":"CVE-2024-42254"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"closures: Change BUG_ON() to WARN_ON()","id":"CVE-2024-42252"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-08-08","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel PCA953x GPIO driver can cause incorrect register writes, potentially leading to system instability or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42253/"}
