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-2024-46786 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-2024-46786/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-46786/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-46786","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-46786/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-46786","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-46786","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-46786","GHSA-fvcf-hj7v-3mj6","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2024-46786","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-46786"],"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 use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel fscache module can cause a system crash when the module is removed.","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":"nvd","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\nfscache: delete fscache_cookie_lru_timer when fscache exits to avoid UAF\n\nThe fscache_cookie_lru_timer is initialized when the fscache module\nis inserted, but is not deleted when the fscache module is removed.\nIf timer_reduce() is called before removing the fscache module,\nthe fscache_cookie_lru_timer will be added to the timer list of\nthe current cpu.
