An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-46796 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-2024-46796/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-46796/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-46796","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-46796/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-46796","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-46796","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-46796","GHSA-m8jr-w275-x227","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-46796"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel CIFS client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel CIFS client allows a local attacker to cause a system crash via specific file operations.","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":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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\nsmb: client: fix double put of @cfile in smb2_set_path_size()\n\nIf smb2_compound_op() is called with a valid @cfile and returned\n-EINVAL, we need to call cifs_get_writable_path() before retrying it\nas the reference of @cfile was already dropped by previous call.\n\nThis fixes the following KASAN splat when running fstests generic/013\nagainst Windows Server 2022:\n\n  CIFS: Attempting to mount //w22-fs0/scratch\n  run fstests generic/013 at 2024-09-02 19:48:59\n  ==================================================================\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in detach_if_pending+0xab/0x200\n  Write of size 8 at addr ffff88811f1a3730 by task kworker/3:2/176\n\n  CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 176 Comm: kworker/3:2 Not tainted 6.11.0-rc6 #2\n  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-2.fc40\n  04/01/2014\n  Workqueue: cifsoplockd cifs_oplock_break [cifs]\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n   dump_stack_lvl+0x5d/0x80\n   ?
