Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-56687)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-56687). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.1.120, 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:

usb: musb: Fix hardware lockup on first Rx endpoint request

There is a possibility that a request's callback could be invoked from
usb_ep_queue() (call trace below, supplemented with missing calls):

req->complete from usb_gadget_giveback_request
(drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c:999)
usb_gadget_giveback_request from musb_g_giveback
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c:147)
musb_g_giveback from rxstate
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c:784)
rxstate from musb_ep_restart
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c:1169)
musb_ep_restart from musb_ep_restart_resume_work
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c:1176)
musb_ep_restart_resume_work from musb_queue_resume_work
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_core.c:2279)
musb_queue_resume_work from musb_gadget_queue
(drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget.c:1241)
musb_gadget_queue from usb_ep_queue
(drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c:300)

According to the docstring of usb_ep_queue(), this should not happen:

"Note that @req's ->complete() callback must never be called from within
usb_ep_queue() as that can create deadlock situations."

In fact, a hardware lockup might occur in the following sequence:

The gadget is initialized using musb_gadget_enable().
Meanwhile, a packet arrives, and the RXPKTRDY flag is set, raising an
interrupt.
If IRQs are enabled, the interrupt is handled, but musb_g_rx() finds an
empty queue (next_request() returns NULL). The interrupt flag has
already been cleared by t…

🔥 Severity

Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 6.1.120, 6.6.64, 6.11.11, 6.12.2.

🛡️ 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 6.1.120, 6.6.64, 6.11.11, 6.12.2
```
ステージング環境で 6.1.120, 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。
