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-2024-49944 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-2024-49944/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49944/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-49944","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49944/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-49944","record":{"aliases":["AZL-52914","BELL-CVE-2024-49944","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-49944","GHSA-jww8-jcqp-pmjm","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-49944"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel SCTP","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel SCTP module can cause a system crash when autobind fails and port reuse is enabled.","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":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsctp: set sk_state back to CLOSED if autobind fails in sctp_listen_start\n\nIn sctp_listen_start() invoked by sctp_inet_listen(), it should set the\nsk_state back to CLOSED if sctp_autobind() fails due to whatever reason.\n\nOtherwise, next time when calling sctp_inet_listen(), if sctp_sk(sk)-\u003ereuse\nis already set via setsockopt(SCTP_REUSE_PORT), sctp_sk(sk)-\u003ebind_hash will\nbe dereferenced as sk_state is LISTENING, which causes a crash as bind_hash\nis NULL.\n\n  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]\n  RIP: 0010:sctp_inet_listen+0x7f0/0xa20 net/sctp/socket.c:8617\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n   __sys_listen_socket net/socket.c:1883 [inline]\n   __sys_listen+0x1b7/0x230 net/socket.c:1894\n   __do_sys_listen net/socket.c:1902 [inline]","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":"sctp: set sk_state back to CLOSED if autobind fails in sctp_listen_start","id":"CVE-2024-49944","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":9,"next":{"headline":"net/ncsi: Disable the ncsi work before freeing the associated structure","id":"CVE-2024-49945"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/xe/guc_submit: add missing locking in wedged_fini","id":"CVE-2024-49943"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-10-21","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":"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 SCTP module can cause a system crash when autobind fails and port reuse is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49944/"}
