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-2024-49980 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-2024-49980/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49980/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-49980","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49980/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-49980","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-49980","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-49980","GHSA-h72j-469c-c787","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-49980"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel VRF","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel VRF module can cause a deadlock, leading to a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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":[{"id":"CWE-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nvrf: revert \"vrf: Remove unnecessary RCU-bh critical section\"\n\nThis reverts commit 504fc6f4f7f681d2a03aa5f68aad549d90eab853.\n\ndev_queue_xmit_nit is expected to be called with BH disabled.\n__dev_queue_xmit has the following:\n\n        /* Disable soft irqs for various locks below.
