But registering sysfs precedes initializing\nrs->lock, so it is possible to change rs->interval to a non-zero value\nvia the msg_ratelimit_interval_ms interface of sysfs while rs->lock is\nuninitialized, and then a call to ext4_msg triggers the problem by\naccessing an uninitialized rs->lock. Therefore register sysfs after all\ninitializations are complete to avoid such problems."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/ext4/super.c"], "versions": [{"version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "23afcd52af06880c6c913a0ad99022b8937b575c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "645267906944a9aeec9d5c56ee24a9096a288798", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "b4b4fda34e535756f9e774fb2d09c4537b7dfd1c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["fs/ext4/super.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.6.36", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.9.7", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.9.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.10", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.36"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionEndExcluding": "6.9.7"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionEndExcluding": "6.10"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/23afcd52af06880c6c913a0ad99022b8937b575c"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/645267906944a9aeec9d5c56ee24a9096a288798"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b4b4fda34e535756f9e774fb2d09c4537b7dfd1c"}], "title": "ext4: fix uninitialized ratelimit_state->lock access in __ext4_fill_super()", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"providerMetadata": {"orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2024-08-02T04:39:56.156Z"}, "title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/23afcd52af06880c6c913a0ad99022b8937b575c", "tags": ["x_transferred"]}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/645267906944a9aeec9d5c56ee24a9096a288798", "tags": ["x_transferred"]}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b4b4fda34e535756f9e774fb2d09c4537b7dfd1c", "tags": ["x_transferred"]}]}, {"metrics": [{"other": {"type": "ssvc", "content": {"id": "CVE-2024-40998", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [{"Exploitation": "none"}, {"Automatable": "no"}, {"Technical Impact": "partial"}], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2024-09-10T17:01:25.647023Z"}}}], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-09-11T17:34:19.460Z"}}]}}
