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

Input: cyapa - add missing input core locking to suspend/resume functions

Grab input->mutex during suspend/resume functions like it is done in
other input drivers. This fixes the following warning during system
suspend/resume cycle on Samsung Exynos5250-based Snow Chromebook:

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 5.15.161, 6.1.93, 6.6.33, 6.9.4
```
ステージング環境で 5.15.161, 6.1.93, 6.6.33, 6.9.4 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。
