- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known
- **Login needed:** Any signed-in user
- **Attackable:** Local or same network only
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed

## What is CVE-2024-47734?

CVE-2024-47734 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 21 Oct 2024. 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:

bonding: Fix unnecessary warnings and logs from bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave()

syzbot reported a WARNING in bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave. To reproduce
this[1], one bond device (bond1) has xdpdrv, which increases
bpf_master_redirect_enabled_key. Another bond device (bond0) which is
unsupported by XDP but its slave (veth3) has xdpgeneric that returns
XDP_TX. This triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() from the xdp_master_redirect().
To reduce unnecessary warnings and improve log management, we need to
delete the WARN_ON_ONCE() and add ratelimit to the netdev_err().

[1] Steps to reproduce:
    # Needs tx_xdp with return XDP_TX;
    ip l add veth0 type veth peer veth1
    ip l add veth3 type veth peer veth4
    ip l add bond0 type bond mode 6 # BOND_MODE_ALB, unsupported by XDP
    ip l add bond1 type bond # BOND_MODE_ROUNDROBIN by default
    ip l set veth0 master bond1
    ip l set bond1 up
    # Increases bpf_master_redirect_enabled_key
    ip l set dev bond1 xdpdrv object tx_xdp.o section xdp_tx
    ip l set veth3 master bond0
    ip l set bond0 up
    ip l set veth4 up
    # Triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() from the xdp_master_redirect()
    ip l set veth3 xdpgeneric object tx_xdp.o section xdp_tx

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2024-47734 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-47734 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 21 Oct 2024. 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-2024-47734 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.
