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-2024-57939 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-2024-57939/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-57939/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-57939","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-57939/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-57939","record":{"aliases":["AZL-57596","BELL-CVE-2024-57939","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-57939","GHSA-9pph-vqgh-3wmp","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2024-57939","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-57939"],"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 bug in the Linux kernel RISC-V architecture causes a system crash when an illegal instruction occurs in a real-time preemptible context.","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":"cisa-adp","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\nriscv: Fix sleeping in invalid context in die()\n\ndie() can be called in exception handler, and therefore cannot sleep.\nHowever, die() takes spinlock_t which can sleep with PREEMPT_RT enabled.\nThat causes the following warning:\n\nBUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48\nin_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 285, name: mutex\npreempt_count: 110001, expected: 0\nRCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0\nCPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 285 Comm: mutex Not tainted 6.12.0-rc7-00022-ge19049cf7d56-dirty #234\nHardware name: riscv-virtio,qemu (DT)\nCall Trace:\n    dump_backtrace+0x1c/0x24\n    show_stack+0x2c/0x38\n    dump_stack_lvl+0x5a/0x72\n    dump_stack+0x14/0x1c\n    __might_resched+0x130/0x13a\n    rt_spin_lock+0x2a/0x5c\n    die+0x24/0x112\n    do_trap_insn_illegal+0xa0/0xea\n    _new_vmalloc_restore_context_a0+0xcc/0xd8\nOops - illegal instruction [#1]\n\nSwitch to use raw_spinlock_t, which does not sleep even with PREEMPT_RT\nenabled.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"riscv: Fix sleeping in invalid context in die()","id":"CVE-2024-57939","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"exfat: fix the infinite loop in exfat_readdir()","id":"CVE-2024-57940"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"net/sctp: Prevent autoclose integer overflow in sctp_association_init()","id":"CVE-2024-57938"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-01-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A bug in the Linux kernel RISC-V architecture causes a system crash when an illegal instruction occurs in a real-time preemptible context.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-57939/"}
