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-2024-42297 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-2024-42297/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42297/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42297","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42297/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42297","record":{"aliases":["AZL-49746","BELL-CVE-2024-42297","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-42297","GHSA-q637-fwgw-hj6c","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-42297"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger a kernel panic in the f2fs filesystem by mounting it as read-only, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nf2fs: fix to don't dirty inode for readonly filesystem\n\nsyzbot reports f2fs bug as below:\n\nkernel BUG at fs/f2fs/inode.c:933!\nRIP: 0010:f2fs_evict_inode+0x1576/0x1590 fs/f2fs/inode.c:933\nCall Trace:\n evict+0x2a4/0x620 fs/inode.c:664\n dispose_list fs/inode.c:697 [inline]\n evict_inodes+0x5f8/0x690 fs/inode.c:747\n generic_shutdown_super+0x9d/0x2c0 fs/super.c:675\n kill_block_super+0x44/0x90 fs/super.c:1667\n kill_f2fs_super+0x303/0x3b0 fs/f2fs/super.c:4894\n deactivate_locked_super+0xc1/0x130 fs/super.c:484\n cleanup_mnt+0x426/0x4c0 fs/namespace.c:1256\n task_work_run+0x24a/0x300 kernel/task_work.c:180\n ptrace_notify+0x2cd/0x380 kernel/signal.c:2399\n ptrace_report_syscall include/linux/ptrace.h:411 [inline]\n ptrace_report_syscall_exit include/linux/ptrace.h:473 [inline]\n syscall_exit_work kernel/entry/common.c:251 [inline]\n syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare kernel/entry/common.c:278 [inline]\n __syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work kernel/entry/common.c:283 [inline]\n syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x15c/0x280 kernel/entry/common.c:296\n do_syscall_64+0x50/0x110 arch/x86/entry/common.c:88\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0x6b\n\nThe root cause is:\n- do_sys_open\n -
