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-2024-56779 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-2024-56779/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56779/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-56779","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56779/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-56779","record":{"aliases":["AZL-55349","AZL-55381","BELL-CVE-2024-56779","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-56779","GHSA-v6jm-7r7p-9979","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-56779"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NFS server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Concurrent NFS open requests can cause memory leaks in the Linux kernel NFS server, leading to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: fix nfs4_openowner leak when concurrent nfsd4_open occur\n\nThe action force umount(umount -f) will attempt to kill all rpc_task even\numount operation may ultimately fail if some files remain open.\nConsequently, if an action attempts to open a file, it can potentially\nsend two rpc_task to nfs server.\n\n                   NFS CLIENT\nthread1                             thread2\nopen(\"file\")\n...\nnfs4_do_open\n _nfs4_do_open\n  _nfs4_open_and_get_state\n   _nfs4_proc_open\n    nfs4_run_open_task\n     /* rpc_task1 */\n     rpc_run_task\n     rpc_wait_for_completion_task\n\n                                    umount -f\n                                    nfs_umount_begin\n                                     rpc_killall_tasks\n                                      rpc_signal_task\n     rpc_task1 been wakeup\n     and return -512\n _nfs4_do_open // while loop\n    ...\n    nfs4_run_open_task\n     /* rpc_task2 */\n     rpc_run_task\n     rpc_wait_for_completion_task\n\nWhile processing an open request, nfsd will first attempt to find or\nallocate an nfs4_openowner.
