Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-35794)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-35794). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.7.12, 6.8.3 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

dm-raid: really frozen sync_thread during suspend

commit f52f5c71f3d4 ("md: fix stopping sync thread") remove
MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN from __md_stop_writes() and doesn't realize that
dm-raid relies on __md_stop_writes() to frozen sync_thread
indirectly. Fix this problem by adding MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN in
md_stop_writes(), and since stop_sync_thread() is only used for
dm-raid in this case, also move stop_sync_thread() to
md_stop_writes().
The flag MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN doesn't mean that sync thread is frozen,
it only prevent new sync_thread to start, and it can't stop the
running sync thread; In order to frozen sync_thread, after seting the
flag, stop_sync_thread() should be used.
The flag MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN doesn't mean that writes are stopped, use
it as condition for md_stop_writes() in raid_postsuspend() doesn't
look correct. Consider that reentrant stop_sync_thread() do nothing,
always call md_stop_writes() in raid_postsuspend().
raid_message can set/clear the flag MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN at anytime,
and if MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is cleared while the array is suspended,
new sync_thread can start unexpected. Fix this by disallow
raid_message() to change sync_thread status during suspend.

Note that after commit f52f5c71f3d4 ("md: fix stopping sync thread"), the
test shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh start to hang in stop_sync_thread(),
and with previous fixes, the test w…

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 6.7.12, 6.8.3
```
ステージング環境で 6.7.12, 6.8.3 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。
