Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-49465). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.10.248, 5.15.198, 5.17.14, 5.18.3 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

blk-throttle: Set BIO_THROTTLED when bio has been throttled

1.In current process, all bio will set the BIO_THROTTLED flag
after __blk_throtl_bio().

2.If bio needs to be throttled, it will start the timer and
stop submit bio directly. Bio will submit in
blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() when the timer expires.But in
the current process, if bio is throttled. The BIO_THROTTLED
will be set to bio after timer start. If the bio has been
completed, it may cause use-after-free blow.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Kernel' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade Kernel to 5.10.248, 5.15.198, 5.17.14, 5.18.3
```
ステージング環境で 5.10.248, 5.15.198, 5.17.14, 5.18.3 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
