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-2024-46678 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-2024-46678/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-46678/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-46678","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-46678/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-46678","record":{"aliases":["AZL-49590","BELL-CVE-2024-46678","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-46678","GHSA-2mh2-9xm5-m59q","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-46678","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2024-46678","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2024-46678","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-46678"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel bonding","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A locking bug in the Linux kernel bonding driver causes a system crash when changing the active slave on a bond with IPsec enabled.","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":[{"id":"CWE-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbonding: change ipsec_lock from spin lock to mutex\n\nIn the cited commit, bond-\u003eipsec_lock is added to protect ipsec_list,\nhence xdo_dev_state_add and xdo_dev_state_delete are called inside\nthis lock.
