Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-26742)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-26742). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.1.80, 6.6.19, 6.7.7 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

scsi: smartpqi: Fix disable_managed_interrupts

Correct blk-mq registration issue with module parameter
disable_managed_interrupts enabled.

When we turn off the default PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY flag, the driver needs to
register with blk-mq using blk_mq_map_queues(). The driver is currently
calling blk_mq_pci_map_queues() which results in a stack trace and possibly
undefined behavior.

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 6.1.80, 6.6.19, 6.7.7
```
ステージング環境で 6.1.80, 6.6.19, 6.7.7 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。
