Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-57897)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-57897). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.15.176, 6.1.124, 6.6.70, 6.12.9 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

drm/amdkfd: Correct the migration DMA map direction

The SVM DMA device map direction should be set the same as
the DMA unmap setting, otherwise the DMA core will report
the following warning.

Before finialize this solution, there're some discussion on
the DMA mapping type(stream-based or coherent) in this KFD
migration case, followed by https://lore.kernel.org/all/04d4ab32
-45a1-4b88-86ee-fb0f35a0ca40@amd.com/T/.

As there's no dma_sync_single_for_*() in the DMA buffer accessed
that because this migration operation should be sync properly and
automatically. Give that there's might not be a performance problem
in various cache sync policy of DMA sync. Therefore, in order to
simplify the DMA direction setting alignment, let's set the DMA map
direction as BIDIRECTIONAL.

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 5.15.176, 6.1.124, 6.6.70, 6.12.9
```
ステージング環境で 5.15.176, 6.1.124, 6.6.70, 6.12.9 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。
