There is no network-facing path into `ext4_add_entry()` without a locally mounted corrupt image.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the on-disk image, so the block-0 hole and the resulting dot/dotdot-less directory are created deterministically; no race, timing window, or uncontrollable memory layout is involved. A single file creation followed by a rename reliably reaches `make_indexed_dir()`/`do_split()`.\nPR:L - Once the crafted or corrupted filesystem is mounted, any unprivileged local user with write access to the affected directory triggers the bug through normal file-creation and rename syscalls. No CAP_SYS_ADMIN or other capability is checked on this path.\nUI:N - No victim action is needed at exploit time \u2014 the corrupt filesystem may already be mounted (shared/automounted removable media via udisks2, or pre-existing on-disk corruption), and the trigger is the attacker's own syscalls. This matches CNA precedent for ext4 bugs triggered by operations on an already-mounted corrupt image.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and directory-metadata corruption occur entirely within the kernel's own security authority on the affected host. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The dot/dotdot-less directory causes `do_split()` to index `map[0xFFFFFFFF]`, an unbounded out-of-bounds read far outside the buffer whose result is folded into the persisted htree hash, and `ext4_htree_fill_tree()` copies attacker-chosen `name_len` bytes of adjacent block data out to userspace via getdents. This is arbitrary/unbounded kernel memory disclosure, not a few strictly bounded bytes.\nI:H - The kernel silently accepts and writes back corrupt directory metadata \u2014 allocating and populating block 0 without `.`/`..`, then running `dx_move_dirents()`/`dx_pack_dirents()` memcpy/memset operations and `dx_insert_block()` driven by a bogus entry map and out-of-bounds-derived hash. The resulting attacker-influenced kernel memory corruption and on-disk directory/htree corruption is exploitable for control-flow-relevant heap manipulation.\nA:H - The wild out-of-bounds read triggers an unrecoverable page fault / kernel oops (as captured by syzbot) while the task holds the directory `i_rwsem` and an open jbd2 transaction handle, hanging the filesystem for all other users.

This is arbitrary/unbounded kernel memory disclosure, not a few strictly bounded bytes.\nI:H - The kernel silently accepts and writes back corrupt directory metadata \u2014 allocating and populating block 0 without `.`/`..`, then running `dx_move_dirents()`/`dx_pack_dirents()` memcpy/memset operations and `dx_insert_block()` driven by a bogus entry map and out-of-bounds-derived hash. The resulting attacker-influenced kernel memory corruption and on-disk directory/htree corruption is exploitable for control-flow-relevant heap manipulation.\nA:H - The wild out-of-bounds read triggers an unrecoverable page fault / kernel oops (as captured by syzbot) while the task holds the directory `i_rwsem` and an open jbd2 transaction handle, hanging the filesystem for all other users.

Despu\u00e9s de eso, obtenemos un bloque de directorio sin '.' y '..' pero con un dentry v\u00e1lido. Esto puede provocar que alg\u00fan c\u00f3digo que depende de punto o punto punto (como make_indexed_dir()) falle. Por lo tanto, cuando ext4_read_dirblock() encuentra que el primer bloque de directorio es un agujero, informa que el sistema de archivos est\u00e1 da\u00f1ado y devuelve un error para evitar cargar datos corruptos desde el disco y causar algo malo."}], "id": "CVE-2024-42304", "lastModified": "2026-10-15T01:18:46.087", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 5.9, "source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "type": "Secondary"}, {"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}], "ssvcV203": [{"source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "ssvcData": {"id": "CVE-2024-42304", "options": [{"exploitation": "none"}, {"automatable": "no"}, {"technicalImpact": "partial"}], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "timestamp": "2024-09-10T16:10:22.365835Z", "version": "2.0.3"}}]}, "published": "2024-08-17T09:15:10.617", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/299bc6ffa57e04e74c6cce866d6c0741fb4897a1"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9771e3d8365ae1dd5e8846a204cb9af14e3e656a"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b609753cbbd38f8c0affd4956c0af178348523ac"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c3893d9de8ee153baac56d127d844103488133b5"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d81d7e347d1f1f48a5634607d39eb90c161c8afe"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/de2a011a13a46468a6e8259db58b1b62071fe136"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e02f9941e8c011aa3eafa799def6a134ce06bcfa"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f9ca51596bbfd0f9c386dd1c613c394c78d9e5e6"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2024/10/msg00003.html"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "url": "https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/01/msg00001.html"}, {"source": "0b142b55-0307-4c5a-b3c9-f314f3fb7c5e", "url": "https://cert-portal.siemens.com/productcert/html/ssa-265688.html"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Modified", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "NVD-CWE-noinfo"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
