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-2024-50056 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-2024-50056/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50056/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-50056","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50056/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-50056","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-50056","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-50056","GHSA-x464-67pg-rxcc","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-50056","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2024-50056","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-50056"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel USB gadget","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel USB gadget driver can cause a system crash when specific USB video class operations are performed.","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":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nusb: gadget: uvc: Fix ERR_PTR dereference in uvc_v4l2.c\n\nFix potential dereferencing of ERR_PTR() in find_format_by_pix()\nand uvc_v4l2_enum_format().\n\nFix the following smatch errors:\n\ndrivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_v4l2.c:124 find_format_by_pix()\nerror: 'fmtdesc' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()\n\ndrivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_v4l2.c:392 uvc_v4l2_enum_format()\nerror: 'fmtdesc' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()\n\nAlso, fix similar issue in uvc_v4l2_try_format() for potential\ndereferencing of ERR_PTR().","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":"usb: gadget: uvc: Fix ERR_PTR dereference in uvc_v4l2.c","id":"CVE-2024-50056","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":4,"next":{"headline":"usb: typec: tipd: Free IRQ only if it was requested before","id":"CVE-2024-50057"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"driver core: bus: Fix double free in driver API bus_register()","id":"CVE-2024-50055"},"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":"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":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel USB gadget driver can cause a system crash when specific USB video class operations are performed.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50056/"}
