Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-50135)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-50135). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 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:

nvme-pci: fix race condition between reset and nvme_dev_disable()

nvme_dev_disable() modifies the dev->online_queues field, therefore
nvme_pci_update_nr_queues() should avoid racing against it, otherwise
we could end up passing invalid values to blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues().

WARNING: CPU: 39 PID: 61303 at drivers/pci/msi/api.c:347
pci_irq_get_affinity+0x187/0x210
Workqueue: nvme-reset-wq nvme_reset_work [nvme]
RIP: 0010:pci_irq_get_affinity+0x187/0x210
Call Trace:

? blk_mq_pci_map_queues+0x87/0x3c0

blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues+0x2a/0x40
nvme_reset_work+0x1be/0x2a0 [nvme]

Fix the bug by locking the shutdown_lock mutex before using
dev->online_queues. Give up if nvme_dev_disable() is running or if
it has been executed already.

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 6.6.59, 6.11.6
```
ステージング環境で 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。
