An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-49996 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2024-49996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-49996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49996/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-49996","record":{"aliases":["AZL-51324","BELL-CVE-2024-49996","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-49996","GHSA-276c-3gx4-x9pr","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-49996"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel CIFS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A buffer overflow in the Linux kernel CIFS module allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via crafted NFS reparse points.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":9.4,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncifs: Fix buffer overflow when parsing NFS reparse points\n\nReparseDataLength is sum of the InodeType size and DataBuffer size.\nSo to get DataBuffer size it is needed to subtract InodeType's size from\nReparseDataLength.\n\nFunction cifs_strndup_from_utf16() is currentlly accessing buf-\u003eDataBuffer\nat position after the end of the buffer because it does not subtract\nInodeType size from the length.
