Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-35844)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-35844). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.15.153, 6.1.83, 6.6.23, 6.7.11, 6.8.2 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

f2fs: compress: fix reserve_cblocks counting error when out of space

When a file only needs one direct_node, performing the following
operations will cause the file to be unrepairable:

unisoc # ./f2fs_io compress test.apk
unisoc #df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 1.2M 100% /data

unisoc # ./f2fs_io release_cblocks test.apk
924
unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 4.8M 100% /data

unisoc # dd if=/dev/random of=file4 bs=1M count=3
3145728 bytes (3.0 M) copied, 0.025 s, 120 M/s
unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 1.8M 100% /data

unisoc # ./f2fs_io reserve_cblocks test.apk
F2FS_IOC_RESERVE_COMPRESS_BLOCKS failed: No space left on device

adb reboot
unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 11M 100% /data
unisoc # ./f2fs_io reserve_cblocks test.apk
0

This is because the file has only one direct_node. After returning
to -ENOSPC, reserved_blocks += ret will not be executed. As a result,
the reserved_blocks at this time is still 0, which is not the real
number of reserved blocks. Therefore, fsck cannot be set to repair
the file.

After this patch, the fsck flag will be set to fix this problem.

unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 1.8M 100% /data
unisoc # ./f2fs_io reserve_cblocks test.apk
F2FS_IOC_RESERVE_COMPRESS_BLOCKS failed: No space left on device

adb reboot then fsck will be executed
unisoc # df -h…

📍 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 5.15.153, 6.1.83, 6.6.23, 6.7.11, 6.8.2.

🛡️ 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 5.15.153, 6.1.83, 6.6.23, 6.7.11, 6.8.2
```
ステージング環境で 5.15.153, 6.1.83, 6.6.23, 6.7.11, 6.8.2 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。
