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-2024-53172 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-2024-53172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-53172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53172/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-53172","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-53172","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53172","GHSA-jrx3-xfh8-49wm","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-53172"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel UBI","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A kernel warning triggered by duplicate slab cache names in UBI fastmap attachment can cause system instability or crashes when debug options are enabled.","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":"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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nubi: fastmap: Fix duplicate slab cache names while attaching\n\nSince commit 4c39529663b9 (\"slab: Warn on duplicate cache names when\nDEBUG_VM=y\"), the duplicate slab cache names can be detected and a\nkernel WARNING is thrown out.\nIn UBI fast attaching process, alloc_ai() could be invoked twice\nwith the same slab cache name 'ubi_aeb_slab_cache', which will trigger\nfollowing warning messages:\n kmem_cache of name 'ubi_aeb_slab_cache' already exists\n WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 7519 at mm/slab_common.c:107\n          __kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0\n Modules linked in: ubi(+) nandsim [last unloaded: nandsim]\n CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 7519 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G 6.12.0-rc2\n RIP: 0010:__kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0\n Call Trace:\n   __kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0\n   alloc_ai+0x295/0x3f0 [ubi]\n   ubi_attach+0x3c3/0xcc0 [ubi]\n   ubi_attach_mtd_dev+0x17cf/0x3fa0 [ubi]\n   ubi_init+0x3fb/0x800 [ubi]\n   do_init_module+0x265/0x7d0\n   __x64_sys_finit_module+0x7a/0xc0\n\nThe problem could be easily reproduced by loading UBI device by fastmap\nwith CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y.\nFix it by using different slab names for alloc_ai() callers.","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":"ubi: fastmap: Fix duplicate slab cache names while attaching","id":"CVE-2024-53172","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"NFSv4.0: Fix a use-after-free problem in the asynchronous open()","id":"CVE-2024-53173"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ubifs: authentication: Fix use-after-free in ubifs_tnc_end_commit","id":"CVE-2024-53171"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-12-27","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A kernel warning triggered by duplicate slab cache names in UBI fastmap attachment can cause system instability or crashes when debug options are enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53172/"}
