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-2024-44975 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-2024-44975/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-44975/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-44975","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-44975/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-44975","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-44975","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-44975","GHSA-qh7m-p5jw-2wvg","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-44975"],"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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel cpuset subsystem allows local attackers to cause a system panic and denial of service.","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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncgroup/cpuset: fix panic caused by partcmd_update\n\nWe find a bug as below:\nBUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000003\nPGD 0 P4D 0\nOops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI\nCPU: 3 PID: 358 Comm: bash Tainted: G        W I        6.6.0-10893-g60d6\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/4\nRIP: 0010:partition_sched_domains_locked+0x483/0x600\nCode: 01 48 85 d2 74 0d 48 83 05 29 3f f8 03 01 f3 48 0f bc c2 89 c0 48 9\nRSP: 0018:ffffc90000fdbc58 EFLAGS: 00000202\nRAX: 0000000100000003 RBX: ffff888100b3dfa0 RCX: 0000000000000000\nRDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 000000000002fe80\nRBP: ffff888100b3dfb0 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000\nR10: ffffc90000fdbcb0 R11: 0000000000000004 R12: 0000000000000002\nR13: ffff888100a92b48 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000\nFS:  00007f44a5425740(0000) GS:ffff888237d80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000\nCS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 0000000100030973 CR3: 000000010722c000 CR4: 00000000000006e0\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n ? show_regs+0x8c/0xa0\n ? __die_body+0x23/0xa0\n ? __die+0x3a/0x50\n ? page_fault_oops+0x1d2/0x5c0\n ? partition_sched_domains_locked+0x483/0x600\n ? search_module_extables+0x2a/0xb0\n ? search_exception_tables+0x67/0x90\n ? kernelmode_fixup_or_oops+0x144/0x1b0\n ? __bad_area_nosemaphore+0x211/0x360\n ? up_read+0x3b/0x50\n ? bad_area_nosemaphore+0x1a/0x30\n ? exc_page_fault+0x890/0xd90\n ? __lock_acquire.constprop.0+0x24f/0x8d0\n ? __lock_acquire.constprop.0+0x24f/0x8d0\n ? asm_exc_page_fault+0x26/0x30\n ? partition_sched_domains_locked+0x483/0x600\n ? partition_sched_domains_locked+0xf0/0x600\n rebuild_sched_domains_locked+0x806/0xdc0\n update_partition_sd_lb+0x118/0x130\n cpuset_write_resmask+0xffc/0x1420\n cgroup_file_write+0xb2/0x290\n kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x194/0x290\n new_sync_write+0xeb/0x160\n vfs_write+0x16f/0x1d0\n ksys_write+0x81/0x180\n __x64_sys_write+0x21/0x30\n x64_sys_call+0x2f25/0x4630\n do_syscall_64+0x44/0xb0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x78/0xe2\nRIP: 0033:0x7f44a553c887\n\nIt can be reproduced with cammands:\ncd /sys/fs/cgroup/\nmkdir test\ncd test/\necho +cpuset \u003e ../cgroup.subtree_control\necho root \u003e cpuset.cpus.partition\ncat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset.cpus.effective\n0-3\necho 0-3 \u003e cpuset.cpus // taking away all cpus from root\n\nThis issue is caused by the incorrect rebuilding of scheduling domains.\nIn this scenario, test/cpuset.cpus.partition should be an invalid root\nand should not trigger the rebuilding of scheduling domains.
