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-2024-53221 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-2024-53221/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53221/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-53221","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-53221/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-53221","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-53221","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53221","GHSA-376g-f56r-v5h4","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-53221","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2024-53221","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2024-53221","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-53221"],"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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel f2fs module can cause a system crash during concurrent module installation and filesystem mounting.","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":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":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nf2fs: fix null-ptr-deref in f2fs_submit_page_bio()\n\nThere's issue as follows when concurrently installing the f2fs.ko\nmodule and mounting the f2fs file system:\nKASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000020-0x0000000000000027]\nRIP: 0010:__bio_alloc+0x2fb/0x6c0 [f2fs]\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n f2fs_submit_page_bio+0x126/0x8b0 [f2fs]\n __get_meta_page+0x1d4/0x920 [f2fs]\n get_checkpoint_version.constprop.0+0x2b/0x3c0 [f2fs]\n validate_checkpoint+0xac/0x290 [f2fs]\n f2fs_get_valid_checkpoint+0x207/0x950 [f2fs]\n f2fs_fill_super+0x1007/0x39b0 [f2fs]\n mount_bdev+0x183/0x250\n legacy_get_tree+0xf4/0x1e0\n vfs_get_tree+0x88/0x340\n do_new_mount+0x283/0x5e0\n path_mount+0x2b2/0x15b0\n __x64_sys_mount+0x1fe/0x270\n do_syscall_64+0x5f/0x170\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\n\nAbove issue happens as the biset of the f2fs file system is not\ninitialized before register \"f2fs_fs_type\".\nTo address above issue just register \"f2fs_fs_type\" at the last in\ninit_f2fs_fs().
