Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-53223)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-53223). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.6.64, 6.11.11, 6.12.2 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

clk: ralink: mtmips: fix clocks probe order in oldest ralink SoCs

Base clocks are the first in being probed and are real dependencies of the
rest of fixed, factor and peripheral clocks. For old ralink SoCs RT2880,
RT305x and RT3883 'xtal' must be defined first since in any other case,
when fixed clocks are probed they are delayed until 'xtal' is probed so the
following warning appears:

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 6.6.64, 6.11.11, 6.12.2
```
ステージング環境で 6.6.64, 6.11.11, 6.12.2 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。
