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-2024-57977 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-2024-57977/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-57977/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-57977","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-57977/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-57977","record":{"aliases":["AZL-58041","AZL-58053","BELL-CVE-2024-57977","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-57977","GHSA-j98h-85cg-gvmj","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2024-57977","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-57977"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can cause a soft lockup and system hang by triggering OOM conditions with many tasks, requiring a kernel 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":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":[{"id":"CWE-667","name":"Improper Locking"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmemcg: fix soft lockup in the OOM process\n\nA soft lockup issue was found in the product with about 56,000 tasks were\nin the OOM cgroup, it was traversing them when the soft lockup was\ntriggered.\n\nwatchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 23s!
