{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53172","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ubi: fastmap: Fix duplicate slab cache names while attaching  Since commit 4c39529663b9 (\"slab: Warn on duplicate cache names when DEBUG_VM=y\"), the duplicate slab cache names can be detected and a kernel WARNING is thrown out. In UBI fast attaching process, alloc_ai() could be invoked twice with the same slab cache name 'ubi_aeb_slab_cache', which will trigger following warning messages:  kmem_cache of name 'ubi_aeb_slab_cache' already exists  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 7519 at mm/slab_common.c:107           __kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0  Modules linked in: ubi(+) nandsim [last unloaded: nandsim]  CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 7519 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G 6.12.0-rc2  RIP: 0010:__kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0  Call Trace:    __kmem_cache_create_args+0x100/0x5f0    alloc_ai+0x295/0x3f0 [ubi]    ubi_attach+0x3c3/0xcc0 [ubi]    ubi_attach_mtd_dev+0x17cf/0x3fa0 [ubi]    ubi_init+0x3fb/0x800 [ubi]    do_init_module+0x265/0x7d0    __x64_sys_finit_module+0x7a/0xc0  The problem could be easily reproduced by loading UBI device by fastmap with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y. Fix it by using different slab names for alloc_ai() callers.","modified":"2026-09-15T09:03:13.188196336Z","published":"2024-12-27T14:15:24.433Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-53172"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2024-53172"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"linux","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/linux?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.1.123-1"}]}],"versions":["6.1.106-1","6.1.106-2","6.1.106-3","6.1.112-1","6.1.115-1","6.1.119-1","6.1.27-1","6.1.37-1","6.1.38-1","6.1.38-2","6.1.38-2~bpo11+1","6.1.38-3","6.1.38-4","6.1.38-4~bpo11+1","6.1.52-1","6.1.55-1","6.1.55-1~bpo11+1","6.1.64-1","6.1.66-1","6.1.67-1","6.1.69-1","6.1.69-1~bpo11+1","6.1.76-1","6.1.76-1~bpo11+1","6.1.82-1","6.1.85-1","6.1.90-1","6.1.90-1~bpo11+1","6.1.94-1","6.1.94-1~bpo11+1","6.1.98-1","6.1.99-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53172.json"}},{"package":{"name":"linux","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/linux?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.12.3-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53172.json"}},{"package":{"name":"linux","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/linux?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.12.3-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2024-53172.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
