Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-53116)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-53116). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.11.10 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

drm/panthor: Fix handling of partial GPU mapping of BOs

This commit fixes the bug in the handling of partial mapping of the
buffer objects to the GPU, which caused kernel warnings.

Panthor didn't correctly handle the case where the partial mapping
spanned multiple scatterlists and the mapping offset didn't point
to the 1st page of starting scatterlist. The offset variable was
not cleared after reaching the starting scatterlist.

Following warning messages were seen.

❓ What is the problem

A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Kernel.

📍 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 6.11.10.

🛡️ 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 6.11.10
```
ステージング環境で 6.11.10 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。
