Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-46735)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-46735). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.1.110, 6.6.51, 6.10.10 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

ublk_drv: fix NULL pointer dereference in ublk_ctrl_start_recovery()

When two UBLK_CMD_START_USER_RECOVERY commands are submitted, the
first one sets 'ubq->ubq_daemon' to NULL, and the second one triggers
WARN in ublk_queue_reinit() and subsequently a NULL pointer dereference
issue.

Fix it by adding the check in ublk_ctrl_start_recovery() and return
immediately in case of zero 'ub->nr_queues_ready'.

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 6.1.110, 6.6.51, 6.10.10
```
ステージング環境で 6.1.110, 6.6.51, 6.10.10 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。
