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-2024-43834 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-2024-43834/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43834/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-43834","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43834/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-43834","record":{"aliases":["AZL-51980","BELL-CVE-2024-43834","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-43834","GHSA-rh82-rm8r-5cfp","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-43834"],"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 race condition in the Linux kernel XDP subsystem causes an invalid wait context warning and potential system instability when destroying page pools.","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":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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxdp: fix invalid wait context of page_pool_destroy()\n\nIf the driver uses a page pool, it creates a page pool with\npage_pool_create().\nThe reference count of page pool is 1 as default.\nA page pool will be destroyed only when a reference count reaches 0.\npage_pool_destroy() is used to destroy page pool, it decreases a\nreference count.\nWhen a page pool is destroyed, -\u003edisconnect() is called, which is\nmem_allocator_disconnect().\nThis function internally acquires mutex_lock().\n\nIf the driver uses XDP, it registers a memory model with\nxdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model().\nThe xdp_rxq_info_reg_mem_model() internally increases a page pool\nreference count if a memory model is a page pool.\nNow the reference count is 2.\n\nTo destroy a page pool, the driver should call both page_pool_destroy()\nand xdp_unreg_mem_model().\nThe xdp_unreg_mem_model() internally calls page_pool_destroy().\nOnly page_pool_destroy() decreases a reference count.\n\nIf a driver calls page_pool_destroy() then xdp_unreg_mem_model(), we\nwill face an invalid wait context warning.\nBecause xdp_unreg_mem_model() calls page_pool_destroy() with\nrcu_read_lock().\nThe page_pool_destroy() internally acquires mutex_lock().\n\nSplat looks like:\n=============================\n[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]\n6.10.0-rc6+ #4 Tainted: G W\n-----------------------------\nethtool/1806 is trying to lock:\nffffffff90387b90 (mem_id_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: mem_allocator_disconnect+0x73/0x150\nother info that might help us debug this:\ncontext-{5:5}\n3 locks held by ethtool/1806:\nstack backtrace:\nCPU: 0 PID: 1806 Comm: ethtool Tainted: G W 6.10.0-rc6+ #4 f916f41f172891c800f2fed\nHardware name: ASUS System Product Name/PRIME Z690-P D4, BIOS 0603 11/01/2021\nCall Trace:\n\u003cTASK\u003e\ndump_stack_lvl+0x7e/0xc0\n__lock_acquire+0x1681/0x4de0\n?
