- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known
- **Login needed:** Any signed-in user
- **Attackable:** Local or same network only
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed
- **Fix available:** Yes
- **Published:** 11 Jan 2025
- **Updated:** 11 May 2026
- **Also known as:** AZL-56229, AZL-56276, BELL-CVE-2024-47143, DEBIAN-CVE-2024-47143, GHSA-g29r-ch4v-q6cx, UBUNTU-CVE-2024-47143

## What is CVE-2024-47143?

CVE-2024-47143 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 11 Jan 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dma-debug: fix a possible deadlock on radix_lock

radix_lock() shouldn't be held while holding dma_hash_entry[idx].lock
otherwise, there's a possible deadlock scenario when
dma debug API is called holding rq_lock():

CPU0                   CPU1                       CPU2
dma_free_attrs()
check_unmap()          add_dma_entry()            __schedule() //out
                                                  (A) rq_lock()
get_hash_bucket()
(A) dma_entry_hash
                                                  check_sync()
                       (A) radix_lock()           (W) dma_entry_hash
dma_entry_free()
(W) radix_lock()
                       // CPU2's one
                       (W) rq_lock()

CPU1 situation can happen when it extending radix tree and
it tries to wake up kswapd via wake_all_kswapd().

CPU2 situation can happen while perf_event_task_sched_out()
(i.e. dma sync operation is called while deleting perf_event using
 etm and etr tmc which are Arm Coresight hwtracing driver backends).

To remove this possible situation, call dma_entry_free() after
put_hash_bucket() in check_unmap().

Weakness: CWE-667 (Improper Locking)

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2024-47143 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-47143 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 11 Jan 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-47143 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
