Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-56580)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-56580). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.12.4 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

media: qcom: camss: fix error path on configuration of power domains

There is a chance to meet runtime issues during configuration of CAMSS
power domains, because on the error path dev_pm_domain_detach() is
unexpectedly called with NULL or error pointer.

One of the simplest ways to reproduce the problem is to probe CAMSS
driver before registration of CAMSS power domains, for instance if
a platform CAMCC driver is simply not built.

Warning backtrace example:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000001a2

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 6.12.4
```
ステージング環境で 6.12.4 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。
