Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

scsi: ufs: core: Fix shift issue in ufshcd_clear_cmd()

When task_tag >= 32 (in MCQ mode) and sizeof(unsigned int) == 4, 1U <<
task_tag will out of bounds for a u32 mask. Fix this up to prevent
SHIFT_ISSUE (bitwise shifts that are out of bounds for their data type).

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 6.6.19, 6.7.7
```
ステージング環境で 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。
