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-2024-56640 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-2024-56640/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56640/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-56640","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56640/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-56640","record":{"aliases":["AZL-55527","AZL-55561","BELL-CVE-2024-56640","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-56640","GHSA-mxwc-7773-pqqc","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-56640","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-56640"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel SMC","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's SMC protocol allows attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute code via race conditions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/smc: fix LGR and link use-after-free issue\n\nWe encountered a LGR/link use-after-free issue, which manifested as\nthe LGR/link refcnt reaching 0 early and entering the clear process,\nmaking resource access unsafe.\n\n refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.\n WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 107447 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x9c/0x140\n Workqueue: events smc_lgr_terminate_work [smc]\n Call trace:\n  refcount_warn_saturate+0x9c/0x140\n  __smc_lgr_terminate.part.45+0x2a8/0x370 [smc]\n  smc_lgr_terminate_work+0x28/0x30 [smc]\n  process_one_work+0x1b8/0x420\n  worker_thread+0x158/0x510\n  kthread+0x114/0x118\n\nor\n\n refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.\n WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 93140 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0xf0/0x140\n Workqueue: smc_hs_wq smc_listen_work [smc]\n Call trace:\n  refcount_warn_saturate+0xf0/0x140\n  smcr_link_put+0x1cc/0x1d8 [smc]\n  smc_conn_free+0x110/0x1b0 [smc]\n  smc_conn_abort+0x50/0x60 [smc]\n  smc_listen_find_device+0x75c/0x790 [smc]\n  smc_listen_work+0x368/0x8a0 [smc]\n  process_one_work+0x1b8/0x420\n  worker_thread+0x158/0x510\n  kthread+0x114/0x118\n\nIt is caused by repeated release of LGR/link refcnt.
