Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-50583)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-50583). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.0.16, 6.1.2 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

md/raid0, raid10: Don't set discard sectors for request queue

It should use disk_stack_limits to get a proper max_discard_sectors
rather than setting a value by stack drivers.

And there is a bug. If all member disks are rotational devices,
raid0/raid10 set max_discard_sectors. So the member devices are
not ssd/nvme, but raid0/raid10 export the wrong value. It reports
warning messages in function __blkdev_issue_discard when mkfs.xfs
like this:

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 6.0.16, 6.1.2
```
ステージング環境で 6.0.16, 6.1.2 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。
