An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-53209 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-2024-53209/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53209/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-53209","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53209/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-53209","record":{"aliases":["AZL-57917","BELL-CVE-2024-53209","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53209","GHSA-j2r5-qpjf-gcfc","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2024-53209","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-53209"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the bnxt_en driver causes kernel crashes when MTU changes while XDP is active, leading to denial of service.","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":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/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\nbnxt_en: Fix receive ring space parameters when XDP is active\n\nThe MTU setting at the time an XDP multi-buffer is attached\ndetermines whether the aggregation ring will be used and the\nrx_skb_func handler.
