{"cve":"CVE-2024-56755","nvd":{"published":"2024-12-29T12:15:09.077","modified":"2026-06-17T08:12:54.910","status":"Modified","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfs/fscache: Add a memory barrier for FSCACHE_VOLUME_CREATING\n\nIn fscache_create_volume(), there is a missing memory barrier between the\nbit-clearing operation and the wake-up operation. This may cause a\nsituation where, after a wake-up, the bit-clearing operation hasn't been\ndetected yet, leading to an indefinite wait. The triggering process is as\nfollows:\n\n  [cookie1]                [cookie2]                  [volume_work]\nfscache_perform_lookup\n  fscache_create_volume\n                        fscache_perform_lookup\n                          fscache_create_volume\n\t\t\t                        fscache_create_volume_work\n                                                  cachefiles_acquire_volume\n                                                  clear_and_wake_up_bit\n    test_and_set_bit\n                            test_and_set_bit\n                              goto maybe_wait\n      goto no_wait\n\nIn the above process, cookie1 and cookie2 has the same volume. When cookie1\nenters the -no_wait- process, it will clear the bit and wake up the waiting\nprocess. If a barrier is missing, it may cause cookie2 to remain in the\n-wait- process indefinitely.\n\nIn commit 3288666c7256 (\"fscache: Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in\nfscache_create_volume_work()\"), barriers were added to similar operations\nin fscache_create_volume_work(), but fscache_create_volume() was missed.\n\nBy combining the clear and wake operations into clear_and_wake_up_bit() to\nfix this issue.","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-401"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/22f9400a6f3560629478e0a64247b8fcc811a24d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/539fabba965e119b98066fc6ba5257b5eaf4eda2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8beb682cc9a0798a280bbb95e3e41617237090b2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8cc1df3113cb71a0df2c46dd5b102c9e11c8a8c6","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ddab02607eed9e415dc62fde421d4329e5345315"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:57:56.913276502+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-56755","score":0.00208,"percentile":0.10898,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
