Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-27399)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-27399). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.19.314, 5.4.276, 5.10.217, 5.15.159, 6.1.91, 6.6.31, 6.8.10 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

Bluetooth: l2cap: fix null-ptr-deref in l2cap_chan_timeout

There is a race condition between l2cap_chan_timeout() and
l2cap_chan_del(). When we use l2cap_chan_del() to delete the
channel, the chan->conn will be set to null. But the conn could
be dereferenced again in the mutex_lock() of l2cap_chan_timeout().
As a result the null pointer dereference bug will happen. The
KASAN report triggered by POC is shown below:

A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Kernel.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Kernel.

🔥 Severity

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

🔧 How to fix

Update to 4.19.314, 5.4.276, 5.10.217, 5.15.159, 6.1.91, 6.6.31, 6.8.10.

🛡️ 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 4.19.314, 5.4.276, 5.10.217, 5.15.159, 6.1.91, 6.6.31, 6.8.10
```
ステージング環境で 4.19.314, 5.4.276, 5.10.217, 5.15.159, 6.1.91, 6.6.31, 6.8.10 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。
