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.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2024-07-12T12:37:39.823+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-30T12:18:38.884+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"fs/ext4/super.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"efbed4dc5857f845d787e406ce85097d1ccc5c4f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"1e2df0ee0afd6d4b436a740f04f7a759e6531005\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"efbed4dc5857f845d787e406ce85097d1ccc5c4f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"23afcd52af06880c6c913a0ad99022b8937b575c\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"efbed4dc5857f845d787e406ce85097d1ccc5c4f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"645267906944a9aeec9d5c56ee24a9096a288798\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"efbed4dc5857f845d787e406ce85097d1ccc5c4f\",\n \"lessThan\": \"b4b4fda34e535756f9e774fb2d09c4537b7dfd1c\",\n \"status\": \"affected\",\n \"versionType\": \"git\"\n }\n ]\n }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n \"product\": \"Linux\",\n \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n \"programFiles\": [\n \"fs/ext4/super.c\"\n ],\n \"versions\": [\n {\n \"version\": \"3.13\",\n \"status\": \"affected\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"0\",\n \"lessThan\": \"3.13\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.1.191\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.6.36\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.6.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.9.7\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.9.*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n },\n {\n \"version\": \"6.10\",\n \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n }\n ]\n }"}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1e2df0ee0afd6d4b436a740f04f7a759e6531005","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/23afcd52af06880c6c913a0ad99022b8937b575c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/645267906944a9aeec9d5c56ee24a9096a288798","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b4b4fda34e535756f9e774fb2d09c4537b7dfd1c"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-40998","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2024-40998","identifiers":["CVE-2024-40998"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
