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-2024-56677 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-2024-56677/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56677/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-56677","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56677/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-56677","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-56677","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-56677","GHSA-gwjv-8q72-w8xf","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2024-56677","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-56677"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A kernel bug in PowerPC fadump initialization causes a system crash during boot if CMA alignment checks are bypassed, requiring a patch.","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":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-908","name":"Use of Uninitialized Resource"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\npowerpc/fadump: Move fadump_cma_init to setup_arch() after initmem_init()\n\nDuring early init CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES can be PAGE_SIZE,\nsince pageblock_order is still zero and it gets initialized\nlater during initmem_init() e.g.\nsetup_arch() -\u003e initmem_init() -\u003e sparse_init() -\u003e set_pageblock_order()\n\nOne such use case where this causes issue is -\nearly_setup() -\u003e early_init_devtree() -\u003e fadump_reserve_mem() -\u003e fadump_cma_init()\n\nThis causes CMA memory alignment check to be bypassed in\ncma_init_reserved_mem().
