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-2024-43859 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-2024-43859/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43859/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-43859","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43859/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-43859","record":{"aliases":["A-455892000","ASB-A-455892000","AZL-48039","BELL-CVE-2024-43859","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-43859","GHSA-xw4r-xjqg-mh9q","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-43859"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel f2fs","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel f2fs filesystem during mount can cause a system crash, requiring a kernel patch.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nf2fs: fix to truncate preallocated blocks in f2fs_file_open()\n\nchenyuwen reports a f2fs bug as below:\n\nUnable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000011\n fscrypt_set_bio_crypt_ctx+0x78/0x1e8\n f2fs_grab_read_bio+0x78/0x208\n f2fs_submit_page_read+0x44/0x154\n f2fs_get_read_data_page+0x288/0x5f4\n f2fs_get_lock_data_page+0x60/0x190\n truncate_partial_data_page+0x108/0x4fc\n f2fs_do_truncate_blocks+0x344/0x5f0\n f2fs_truncate_blocks+0x6c/0x134\n f2fs_truncate+0xd8/0x200\n f2fs_iget+0x20c/0x5ac\n do_garbage_collect+0x5d0/0xf6c\n f2fs_gc+0x22c/0x6a4\n f2fs_disable_checkpoint+0xc8/0x310\n f2fs_fill_super+0x14bc/0x1764\n mount_bdev+0x1b4/0x21c\n f2fs_mount+0x20/0x30\n legacy_get_tree+0x50/0xbc\n vfs_get_tree+0x5c/0x1b0\n do_new_mount+0x298/0x4cc\n path_mount+0x33c/0x5fc\n __arm64_sys_mount+0xcc/0x15c\n invoke_syscall+0x60/0x150\n el0_svc_common+0xb8/0xf8\n do_el0_svc+0x28/0xa0\n el0_svc+0x24/0x84\n el0t_64_sync_handler+0x88/0xec\n\nIt is because inode.i_crypt_info is not initialized during below path:\n- mount\n - f2fs_fill_super\n  - f2fs_disable_checkpoint\n   - f2fs_gc\n    - f2fs_iget\n     - f2fs_truncate\n\nSo, let's relocate truncation of preallocated blocks to f2fs_file_open(),\nafter fscrypt_file_open().","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":"f2fs: fix to truncate preallocated blocks in f2fs_file_open()","id":"CVE-2024-43859","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"remoteproc: imx_rproc: Skip over memory region when node value is NULL","id":"CVE-2024-43860"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"jfs: Fix array-index-out-of-bounds in diFree","id":"CVE-2024-43858"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-08-17","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":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel f2fs filesystem during mount can cause a system crash, requiring a kernel patch.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-43859/"}
