Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-26600)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-26600). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.19.307, 5.4.269, 5.10.210, 5.15.149, 6.1.78, 6.6.17, 6.7.5 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

phy: ti: phy-omap-usb2: Fix NULL pointer dereference for SRP

If the external phy working together with phy-omap-usb2 does not implement
send_srp(), we may still attempt to call it. This can happen on an idle
Ethernet gadget triggering a wakeup for example:

configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: ECM Suspend
configfs-gadget.g1 gadget.0: Port suspended. Triggering wakeup

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

Let's fix the issue by checking for send_srp() and set_vbus() before
calling them. For USB peripheral only cases these both could b…

🔥 Severity

Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 4.19.307, 5.4.269, 5.10.210, 5.15.149, 6.1.78, 6.6.17, 6.7.5.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

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 4.19.307, 5.4.269, 5.10.210, 5.15.149, 6.1.78, 6.6.17, 6.7.5
```
ステージング環境で 4.19.307, 5.4.269, 5.10.210, 5.15.149, 6.1.78, 6.6.17, 6.7.5 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。
