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-2024-44997 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-2024-44997/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-44997/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-44997","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-44997/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-44997","record":{"aliases":["AZL-48741","BELL-CVE-2024-44997","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-44997","GHSA-2jrr-ff5x-5jqg","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-44997"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free in the MediaTek WED driver causes a kernel panic when turning down interfaces with multiple APs, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: ethernet: mtk_wed: fix use-after-free panic in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb()\n\nWhen there are multiple ap interfaces on one band and with WED on,\nturning the interface down will cause a kernel panic on MT798X.\n\nPreviously, cb_priv was freed in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block() without\nmarking NULL,and mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb() didn't check the value, too.\n\nAssign NULL after free cb_priv in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block() and check NULL\nin mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb().\n\n----------\nUnable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0072460bca32b4f5\nCall trace:\n mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb+0x4/0x38\n 0xffffffc0794084bc\n tcf_block_playback_offloads+0x70/0x1e8\n tcf_block_unbind+0x6c/0xc8\n...\n---------","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":"net: ethernet: mtk_wed: fix use-after-free panic in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb()","id":"CVE-2024-44997","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"atm: idt77252: prevent use after free in dequeue_rx()","id":"CVE-2024-44998"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"vsock: fix recursive -\u003erecvmsg calls","id":"CVE-2024-44996"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-09-04","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 use-after-free in the MediaTek WED driver causes a kernel panic when turning down interfaces with multiple APs, leading to denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-44997/"}
