{"cve":"CVE-2024-42106","nvd":{"published":"2024-07-30T08:15:03.100","modified":"2026-10-15T01:18:43.743","status":"Modified","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ninet_diag: Initialize pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2\n\nKMSAN reported uninit-value access in raw_lookup() [1]. Diag for raw\nsockets uses the pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2 for the\nunderlying protocol. This field corresponds to the sdiag_raw_protocol\nfield in struct inet_diag_req_raw.\n\ninet_diag_get_exact_compat() converts inet_diag_req to\ninet_diag_req_v2, but leaves the pad field uninitialized. So the issue\noccurs when raw_lookup() accesses the sdiag_raw_protocol field.\n\nFix this by initializing the pad field in\ninet_diag_get_exact_compat(). Also, do the same fix in\ninet_diag_dump_compat() to avoid the similar issue in the future.\n\n[1]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in raw_lookup net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:49 [inline]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in raw_sock_get+0x657/0x800 net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:71\n raw_lookup net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:49 [inline]\n raw_sock_get+0x657/0x800 net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:71\n raw_diag_dump_one+0xa1/0x660 net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:99\n inet_diag_cmd_exact+0x7d9/0x980\n inet_diag_get_exact_compat net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1404 [inline]\n inet_diag_rcv_msg_compat+0x469/0x530 net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1426\n sock_diag_rcv_msg+0x23d/0x740 net/core/sock_diag.c:282\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x537/0x670 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2564\n sock_diag_rcv+0x35/0x40 net/core/sock_diag.c:297\n netlink_unicast_kernel net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1335 [inline]\n netlink_unicast+0xe74/0x1240 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1361\n netlink_sendmsg+0x10c6/0x1260 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1905\n sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:730 [inline]\n __sock_sendmsg+0x332/0x3d0 net/socket.c:745\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x7f0/0xb70 net/socket.c:2585\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x271/0x3b0 net/socket.c:2639\n __sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2668 [inline]\n __do_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2677 [inline]\n __se_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2675 [inline]\n __x64_sys_sendmsg+0x27e/0x4a0 net/socket.c:2675\n x64_sys_call+0x135e/0x3ce0 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:47\n do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline]\n do_syscall_64+0xd9/0x1e0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\nUninit was stored to memory at:\n raw_sock_get+0x650/0x800 net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:71\n raw_diag_dump_one+0xa1/0x660 net/ipv4/raw_diag.c:99\n inet_diag_cmd_exact+0x7d9/0x980\n inet_diag_get_exact_compat net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1404 [inline]\n inet_diag_rcv_msg_compat+0x469/0x530 net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1426\n sock_diag_rcv_msg+0x23d/0x740 net/core/sock_diag.c:282\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x537/0x670 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2564\n sock_diag_rcv+0x35/0x40 net/core/sock_diag.c:297\n netlink_unicast_kernel net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1335 [inline]\n netlink_unicast+0xe74/0x1240 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1361\n netlink_sendmsg+0x10c6/0x1260 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:1905\n sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:730 [inline]\n __sock_sendmsg+0x332/0x3d0 net/socket.c:745\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x7f0/0xb70 net/socket.c:2585\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x271/0x3b0 net/socket.c:2639\n __sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2668 [inline]\n __do_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2677 [inline]\n __se_sys_sendmsg net/socket.c:2675 [inline]\n __x64_sys_sendmsg+0x27e/0x4a0 net/socket.c:2675\n x64_sys_call+0x135e/0x3ce0 arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h:47\n do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:52 [inline]\n do_syscall_64+0xd9/0x1e0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:83\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\nLocal variable req.i created at:\n inet_diag_get_exact_compat net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1396 [inline]\n inet_diag_rcv_msg_compat+0x2a6/0x530 net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1426\n sock_diag_rcv_msg+0x23d/0x740 net/core/sock_diag.c:282\n\nCPU: 1 PID: 8888 Comm: syz-executor.6 Not tainted 6.10.0-rc4-00217-g35bb670d65fc #32\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-2.fc40 04/01/2014","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-908"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0184bf0a349f4cf9e663abbe862ff280e8e4dfa2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61cf1c739f08190a4cbf047b9fbb192a94d87e3f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7094a5fd20ab66028f1da7f06e0f2692d70346f9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/76965648fe6858db7c5f3c700fef7aa5f124ca1c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ef519c8efde152e0d632337f2994f6921e0b7e4"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:53:51.317825789+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-42106","score":0.00265,"percentile":0.18288,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
