Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-50229)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-50229). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.9.326, 4.14.291, 4.19.256, 5.4.211, 5.10.137, 5.15.61, 5.18.18, 5.19.2 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

ALSA: bcd2000: Fix a UAF bug on the error path of probing

When the driver fails in snd_card_register() at probe time, it will free
the 'bcd2k->midi_out_urb' before killing it, which may cause a UAF bug.

The following log can reveal it:

[ 50.727020] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in bcd2000_input_complete+0x1f1/0x2e0 [snd_bcd2000]
[ 50.727623] Read of size 8 at addr ffff88810fab0e88 by task swapper/4/0
[ 50.729530] Call Trace:
[ 50.732899] bcd2000_input_complete+0x1f1/0x2e0 [snd_bcd2000]

Fix this by adding usb_kill_urb() before usb_free_urb().

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 4.9.326, 4.14.291, 4.19.256, 5.4.211, 5.10.137, 5.15.61, 5.18.18, 5.19.2
```
ステージング環境で 4.9.326, 4.14.291, 4.19.256, 5.4.211, 5.10.137, 5.15.61, 5.18.18, 5.19.2 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。
