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-2024-50068 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-2024-50068/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50068/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-50068","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50068/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-50068","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-50068","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-50068","GHSA-822w-7669-q3g6","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-50068"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel DAMON sysfs test allows local attackers to exhaust kernel memory, potentially causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/damon/tests/sysfs-kunit.h: fix memory leak in damon_sysfs_test_add_targets()\n\nThe sysfs_target-\u003eregions allocated in damon_sysfs_regions_alloc() is not\nfreed in damon_sysfs_test_add_targets(), which cause the following memory\nleak, free it to fix it.\n\n\tunreferenced object 0xffffff80c2a8db80 (size 96):\n\t  comm \"kunit_try_catch\", pid 187, jiffies 4294894363\n\t  hex dump (first 32 bytes):\n\t    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................\n\t    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................\n\t  backtrace (crc 0):\n\t    [\u003c0000000001e3714d\u003e] kmemleak_alloc+0x34/0x40\n\t    [\u003c000000008e6835c1\u003e] __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x26c/0x2f4\n\t    [\u003c000000001286d9f8\u003e] damon_sysfs_test_add_targets+0x1cc/0x738\n\t    [\u003c0000000032ef8f77\u003e] kunit_try_run_case+0x13c/0x3ac\n\t    [\u003c00000000f3edea23\u003e] kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x80/0xec\n\t    [\u003c00000000adf936cf\u003e] kthread+0x2e8/0x374\n\t    [\u003c0000000041bb1628\u003e] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20","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":"mm/damon/tests/sysfs-kunit.h: fix memory leak in damon_sysfs_test_add_targets()","id":"CVE-2024-50068","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"pinctrl: apple: check devm_kasprintf() returned value","id":"CVE-2024-50069"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"uprobe: avoid out-of-bounds memory access of fetching args","id":"CVE-2024-50067"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-10-29","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 memory leak in the Linux kernel DAMON sysfs test allows local attackers to exhaust kernel memory, potentially causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50068/"}
