Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-50093)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-50093). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.15.168, 6.1.113, 6.6.57, 6.11.4 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

thermal: intel: int340x: processor: Fix warning during module unload

The processor_thermal driver uses pcim_device_enable() to enable a PCI
device, which means the device will be automatically disabled on driver
detach. Thus there is no need to call pci_disable_device() again on it.

With recent PCI device resource management improvements, e.g. commit
f748a07a0b64 ("PCI: Remove legacy pcim_release()"), this problem is
exposed and triggers the warining below.

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 5.15.168, 6.1.113, 6.6.57, 6.11.4
```
ステージング環境で 5.15.168, 6.1.113, 6.6.57, 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。
