Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-49963). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.19.323, 5.4.285, 5.10.227, 5.15.168, 6.1.113, 6.6.55, 6.10.14, 6.11.3 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

mailbox: bcm2835: Fix timeout during suspend mode

During noirq suspend phase the Raspberry Pi power driver suffer of
firmware property timeouts. The reason is that the IRQ of the underlying
BCM2835 mailbox is disabled and rpi_firmware_property_list() will always
run into a timeout [1].

Since the VideoCore side isn't consider as a wakeup source, set the
IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag for the mailbox IRQ in order to keep it enabled
during suspend-resume cycle.

📍 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 4.19.323, 5.4.285, 5.10.227, 5.15.168, 6.1.113, 6.6.55, 6.10.14, 6.11.3.

🛡️ 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 4.19.323, 5.4.285, 5.10.227, 5.15.168, 6.1.113, 6.6.55, 6.10.14, 6.11.3
```
ステージング環境で 4.19.323, 5.4.285, 5.10.227, 5.15.168, 6.1.113, 6.6.55, 6.10.14, 6.11.3 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。
