Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-46675)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-46675). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.19.321, 5.4.283, 5.10.225, 5.15.166, 6.1.108, 6.6.49, 6.10.8 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

usb: dwc3: core: Prevent USB core invalid event buffer address access

This commit addresses an issue where the USB core could access an
invalid event buffer address during runtime suspend, potentially causing
SMMU faults and other memory issues in Exynos platforms. The problem
arises from the following sequence.
1. In dwc3_gadget_suspend, there is a chance of a timeout when
moving the USB core to the halt state after clearing the
run/stop bit by software.
2. In dwc3_core_exit, the event buffer is cleared regardless of
the USB core's status, which may lead to an SMMU faults and
other memory issues. if the USB core tries to access the event
buffer address.

To prevent this hardware quirk on Exynos platforms, this commit ensures
that the event buffer address is not cleared by software when the USB
core is active during runtime suspend by checking its status before
clearing the buffer address.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 4.19.321, 5.4.283, 5.10.225, 5.15.166, 6.1.108, 6.6.49, 6.10.8.

🛡️ 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 4.19.321, 5.4.283, 5.10.225, 5.15.166, 6.1.108, 6.6.49, 6.10.8
```
ステージング環境で 4.19.321, 5.4.283, 5.10.225, 5.15.166, 6.1.108, 6.6.49, 6.10.8 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。
