Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-42290)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-42290). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.4.282, 5.10.224, 5.15.165, 6.1.103, 6.6.44, 6.10.3 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Handle runtime power management correctly

The power domain is automatically activated from clk_prepare(). However, on
certain platforms like i.MX8QM and i.MX8QXP, the power-on handling invokes
sleeping functions, which triggers the 'scheduling while atomic' bug in the
context switch path during device probing:

Cure this by implementing the irq_bus_lock/sync_unlock() interrupt chip
callbacks and handle power management in them as they are invoked from
non-atomic context.

📍 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 5.4.282, 5.10.224, 5.15.165, 6.1.103, 6.6.44, 6.10.3.

🛡️ 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 5.4.282, 5.10.224, 5.15.165, 6.1.103, 6.6.44, 6.10.3
```
ステージング環境で 5.4.282, 5.10.224, 5.15.165, 6.1.103, 6.6.44, 6.10.3 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。
