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-2024-53097 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-2024-53097/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53097/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-53097","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53097/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-53097","record":{"aliases":["AZL-54635","BELL-CVE-2024-53097","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53097","GHSA-pg27-6936-jg2x","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-53097"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A false positive MTE error in the Linux kernel's krealloc function can cause a kernel panic, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm: krealloc: Fix MTE false alarm in __do_krealloc\n\nThis patch addresses an issue introduced by commit 1a83a716ec233 (\"mm:\nkrealloc: consider spare memory for __GFP_ZERO\") which causes MTE\n(Memory Tagging Extension) to falsely report a slab-out-of-bounds error.\n\nThe problem occurs when zeroing out spare memory in __do_krealloc.
