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-2024-48881 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-2024-48881/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-48881/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-48881","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-48881/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-48881","record":{"aliases":["AZL-56139","AZL-56157","BELL-CVE-2024-48881","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-48881","GHSA-2g99-pch7-3284","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-48881"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel bcache","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel bcache module can cause a system crash during cache set flushing.","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":"cisa-adp","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\nbcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR again\n\nCommit 028ddcac477b (\"bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in\nnode allocations\") leads a NULL pointer deference in cache_set_flush().\n\n1721         if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c-\u003eroot))\n1722                 list_add(\u0026c-\u003eroot-\u003elist, \u0026c-\u003ebtree_cache);\n\n\u003eFrom the above code in cache_set_flush(), if previous registration code\nfails before allocating c-\u003eroot, it is possible c-\u003eroot is NULL as what\nit is initialized. __bch_btree_node_alloc() never returns NULL but\nc-\u003eroot is possible to be NULL at above line 1721.\n\nThis patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this.","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":"bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR again","id":"CVE-2024-48881","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":7,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in DIRIS Digiware M-70","id":"CVE-2024-48882"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-48878"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-01-11","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":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel bcache module can cause a system crash during cache set flushing.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-48881/"}
