Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-50005)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-50005). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.10.140, 5.15.64, 5.19.6 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

nfc: pn533: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by pn532_cmd_timeout

When the pn532 uart device is detaching, the pn532_uart_remove()
is called. But there are no functions in pn532_uart_remove() that
could delete the cmd_timeout timer, which will cause use-after-free
bugs. The process is shown below:

(thread 1)                  |        (thread 2)
                            |  pn532_uart_send_frame

This patch adds del_timer_sync() in pn532_uart_remove() in order to
prevent the use-after-free bugs. What's more, the pn53x_unregister_nfc()
is well synchronized, it sets nfc_dev->shutting_down to true and there
are no syscalls could restart the cmd_timeout timer.

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 5.10.140, 5.15.64, 5.19.6
```
ステージング環境で 5.10.140, 5.15.64, 5.19.6 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。
