Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-50828)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-50828). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.4.220, 5.10.150, 5.15.75, 5.19.17, 6.0.3 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

clk: zynqmp: Fix stack-out-of-bounds in strncpy`

"BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in strncpy+0x30/0x68"

Linux-ATF interface is using 16 bytes of SMC payload. In case clock name is
longer than 15 bytes, string terminated NULL character will not be received
by Linux. Add explicit NULL character at last byte to fix issues when clock
name is longer.

This fixes below bug reported by KASAN:

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'Kernel' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

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 5.4.220, 5.10.150, 5.15.75, 5.19.17, 6.0.3
```
ステージング環境で 5.4.220, 5.10.150, 5.15.75, 5.19.17, 6.0.3 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。
