Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-41054)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-41054). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.6.41, 6.9.10 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

scsi: ufs: core: Fix ufshcd_clear_cmd racing issue

When ufshcd_clear_cmd is racing with the completion ISR, the completed tag
of the request's mq_hctx pointer will be set to NULL by the ISR. And
ufshcd_clear_cmd's call to ufshcd_mcq_req_to_hwq will get NULL pointer KE.
Return success when the request is completed by ISR because sq does not
need cleanup.

The racing flow is:

Thread A
ufshcd_err_handler step 1
ufshcd_try_to_abort_task
ufshcd_cmd_inflight(true) step 3
ufshcd_clear_cmd
...
ufshcd_mcq_req_to_hwq
blk_mq_unique_tag
rq->mq_hctx->queue_num step 5

Thread B
ufs_mtk_mcq_intr(cq complete ISR) step 2
scsi_done
...
__blk_mq_free_request
rq->mq_hctx = NULL; step 4

Below is KE back trace:

Update to 6.6.41, 6.9.10.

🛡️ 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 6.6.41, 6.9.10
```
ステージング環境で 6.6.41, 6.9.10 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。
