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-2024-57992 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-2024-57992/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-57992/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-57992","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-57992/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-57992","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-57992","GHSA-f95q-j6q7-73v7","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-57992"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the wilc1000 WiFi driver causes a kernel panic during device probe failure, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: wilc1000: unregister wiphy only if it has been registered\n\nThere is a specific error path in probe functions in wilc drivers (both\nsdio and spi) which can lead to kernel panic, as this one for example\nwhen using SPI:\n\nUnable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 9f000000 when read\n[9f000000] *pgd=00000000\nInternal error: Oops: 5 [#1] ARM\nModules linked in: wilc1000_spi(+) crc_itu_t crc7 wilc1000 cfg80211 bluetooth ecdh_generic ecc\nCPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 106 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 6.13.0-rc3+ #22\nHardware name: Atmel SAMA5\nPC is at wiphy_unregister+0x244/0xc40 [cfg80211]\nLR is at wiphy_unregister+0x1c0/0xc40 [cfg80211]\n[...]\n wiphy_unregister [cfg80211] from wilc_netdev_cleanup+0x380/0x494 [wilc1000]\n wilc_netdev_cleanup [wilc1000] from wilc_bus_probe+0x360/0x834 [wilc1000_spi]\n wilc_bus_probe [wilc1000_spi] from spi_probe+0x15c/0x1d4\n spi_probe from really_probe+0x270/0xb2c\n really_probe from __driver_probe_device+0x1dc/0x4e8\n __driver_probe_device from driver_probe_device+0x5c/0x140\n driver_probe_device from __driver_attach+0x220/0x540\n __driver_attach from bus_for_each_dev+0x13c/0x1a8\n bus_for_each_dev from bus_add_driver+0x2a0/0x6a4\n bus_add_driver from driver_register+0x27c/0x51c\n driver_register from do_one_initcall+0xf8/0x564\n do_one_initcall from do_init_module+0x2e4/0x82c\n do_init_module from load_module+0x59a0/0x70c4\n load_module from init_module_from_file+0x100/0x148\n init_module_from_file from sys_finit_module+0x2fc/0x924\n sys_finit_module from ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x1c\n\nThe issue can easily be reproduced, for example by not wiring correctly\na wilc device through SPI (and so, make it unresponsive to early SPI\ncommands).
