Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-50025)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-50025). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.11.4 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

scsi: fnic: Move flush_work initialization out of if block

After commit 379a58caa199 ("scsi: fnic: Move fnic_fnic_flush_tx() to a
work queue"), it can happen that a work item is sent to an uninitialized
work queue. This may has the effect that the item being queued is never
actually queued, and any further actions depending on it will not
proceed.

The following warning is observed while the fnic driver is loaded:

kernel: WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 0 at ../kernel/workqueue.c:1524 __queue_work+0x373/0x410

It has been observed that this may break the rediscovery of Fibre
Channel devices after a temporary fabric failure.

This patch fixes it by moving the work queue initialization out of
an if block in fnic_probe().

📍 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 6.11.4.

🛡️ 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 6.11.4
```
ステージング環境で 6.11.4 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。
