Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-50133)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-50133). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.1.115, 6.6.59, 6.11.6 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

LoongArch: Don't crash in stack_top() for tasks without vDSO

Not all tasks have a vDSO mapped, for example kthreads never do. If such
a task ever ends up calling stack_top(), it will derefence the NULL vdso
pointer and crash.

This can for example happen when using kunit:

[<90000000002956cc>] arch_pick_mmap_layout+0x164/0x220

🔧 How to fix

Update to 6.1.115, 6.6.59, 6.11.6.

🛡️ 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 6.1.115, 6.6.59, 6.11.6
```
ステージング環境で 6.1.115, 6.6.59, 6.11.6 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。
