Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-26675)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-26675). 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:

ppp_async: limit MRU to 64K

syzbot triggered a warning [1] in __alloc_pages():

WARN_ON_ONCE_GFP(order > MAX_PAGE_ORDER, gfp)

Willem fixed a similar issue in commit c0a2a1b0d631 ("ppp: limit MRU to 64K")

Adopt the same sanity check for ppp_async_ioctl(PPPIOCSMRU)

🔍 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。
