Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-50817)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-50817). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.10.152, 5.15.76, 6.0.6 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

net: hsr: avoid possible NULL deref in skb_clone()

syzbot got a crash [1] in skb_clone(), caused by a bug
in hsr_get_untagged_frame().

When/if create_stripped_skb_hsr() returns NULL, we must
not attempt to call skb_clone().

While we are at it, replace a WARN_ONCE() by netdev_warn_once().

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 5.10.152, 5.15.76, 6.0.6
```
ステージング環境で 5.10.152, 5.15.76, 6.0.6 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。
