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-2024-46715 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-2024-46715/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-46715/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-46715","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-46715/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-46715","record":{"aliases":["AZL-55228","BELL-CVE-2024-46715","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-46715","GHSA-wp8q-76mh-g25x","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-46715","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2024-46715","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-46715"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel IIO driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can cause a kernel crash by accessing sysfs entries for IIO drivers that lack specific callback implementations.","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\ndriver: iio: add missing checks on iio_info's callback access\n\nSome callbacks from iio_info structure are accessed without any check, so\nif a driver doesn't implement them trying to access the corresponding\nsysfs entries produce a kernel oops such as:\n\n[ 2203.527791] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 when execute\n[...]\n[ 2203.783416] Call trace:\n[ 2203.783429]  iio_read_channel_info_avail from dev_attr_show+0x18/0x48\n[ 2203.789807]  dev_attr_show from sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x90/0x120\n[ 2203.794181]  sysfs_kf_seq_show from seq_read_iter+0xd0/0x4e4\n[ 2203.798555]  seq_read_iter from vfs_read+0x238/0x2a0\n[ 2203.802236]  vfs_read from ksys_read+0xa4/0xd4\n[ 2203.805385]  ksys_read from ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x54\n[ 2203.809135] Exception stack(0xe0badfa8 to 0xe0badff0)\n[ 2203.812880] dfa0:                   00000003 b6f10f80 00000003 b6eab000 00020000 00000000\n[ 2203.819746] dfc0: 00000003 b6f10f80 7ff00000 00000003 00000003 00000000 00020000 00000000\n[ 2203.826619] dfe0: b6e1bc88 bed80958 b6e1bc94 b6e1bcb0\n[ 2203.830363] Code: bad PC value\n[ 2203.832695] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---","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":"driver: iio: add missing checks on iio_info's callback access","id":"CVE-2024-46715","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":5,"next":{"headline":"dmaengine: altera-msgdma: properly free descriptor in msgdma_free_descriptor","id":"CVE-2024-46716"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/amd/display: Skip wbscl_set_scaler_filter if filter is null","id":"CVE-2024-46714"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-09-18","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 local attacker can cause a kernel crash by accessing sysfs entries for IIO drivers that lack specific callback implementations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-46715/"}
