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-2024-50231 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-2024-50231/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50231/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-50231","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50231/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-50231","record":{"aliases":["AZL-53129","BELL-CVE-2024-50231","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-50231","GHSA-ghff-7r8p-2pr4","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-50231"],"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 IIO subsystem allows local attackers to exhaust system memory, potentially causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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\niio: gts-helper: Fix memory leaks in iio_gts_build_avail_scale_table()\n\nmodprobe iio-test-gts and rmmod it, then the following memory leak\noccurs:\n\n\tunreferenced object 0xffffff80c810be00 (size 64):\n\t  comm \"kunit_try_catch\", pid 1654, jiffies 4294913981\n\t  hex dump (first 32 bytes):\n\t    02 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 40 00 00 00  ........ ...@...\n\t    80 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 08 00 00  ................\n\t  backtrace (crc a63d875e):\n\t    [\u003c0000000028c1b3c2\u003e] kmemleak_alloc+0x34/0x40\n\t    [\u003c000000001d6ecc87\u003e] __kmalloc_noprof+0x2bc/0x3c0\n\t    [\u003c00000000393795c1\u003e] devm_iio_init_iio_gts+0x4b4/0x16f4\n\t    [\u003c0000000071bb4b09\u003e] 0xffffffdf052a62e0\n\t    [\u003c000000000315bc18\u003e] 0xffffffdf052a6488\n\t    [\u003c00000000f9dc55b5\u003e] kunit_try_run_case+0x13c/0x3ac\n\t    [\u003c00000000175a3fd4\u003e] kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x80/0xec\n\t    [\u003c00000000f505065d\u003e] kthread+0x2e8/0x374\n\t    [\u003c00000000bbfb0e5d\u003e] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n\tunreferenced object 0xffffff80cbfe9e70 (size 16):\n\t  comm \"kunit_try_catch\", pid 1658, jiffies 4294914015\n\t  hex dump (first 16 bytes):\n\t    10 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ....@...........\n\t  backtrace (crc 857f0cb4):\n\t    [\u003c0000000028c1b3c2\u003e] kmemleak_alloc+0x34/0x40\n\t    [\u003c000000001d6ecc87\u003e] __kmalloc_noprof+0x2bc/0x3c0\n\t    [\u003c00000000393795c1\u003e] devm_iio_init_iio_gts+0x4b4/0x16f4\n\t    [\u003c0000000071bb4b09\u003e] 0xffffffdf052a62e0\n\t    [\u003c000000007d089d45\u003e] 0xffffffdf052a6864\n\t    [\u003c00000000f9dc55b5\u003e] kunit_try_run_case+0x13c/0x3ac\n\t    [\u003c00000000175a3fd4\u003e] kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x80/0xec\n\t    [\u003c00000000f505065d\u003e] kthread+0x2e8/0x374\n\t    [\u003c00000000bbfb0e5d\u003e] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n\t......\n\nIt includes 5*5 times \"size 64\" memory leaks, which correspond to 5 times\ntest_init_iio_gain_scale() calls with gts_test_gains size 10 (10*size(int))\nand gts_test_itimes size 5.
