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-2024-55641 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-2024-55641/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-55641/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-55641","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-55641/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-55641","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-55641","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-55641","GHSA-wcwc-pxvq-956h","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-55641"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel XFS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing inode unlock in the Linux kernel XFS filesystem during transaction errors causes a system hang, leading to 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":"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\nxfs: unlock inodes when erroring out of xfs_trans_alloc_dir\n\nDebugging a filesystem patch with generic/475 caused the system to hang\nafter observing the following sequences in dmesg:\n\n XFS (dm-0): metadata I/O error in \"xfs_imap_to_bp+0x61/0xe0 [xfs]\" at daddr 0x491520 len 32 error 5\n XFS (dm-0): metadata I/O error in \"xfs_btree_read_buf_block+0xba/0x160 [xfs]\" at daddr 0x3445608 len 8 error 5\n XFS (dm-0): metadata I/O error in \"xfs_imap_to_bp+0x61/0xe0 [xfs]\" at daddr 0x138e1c0 len 32 error 5\n XFS (dm-0): log I/O error -5\n XFS (dm-0): Metadata I/O Error (0x1) detected at xfs_trans_read_buf_map+0x1ea/0x4b0 [xfs] (fs/xfs/xfs_trans_buf.c:311).
