Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-57900)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2024-57900). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.4.289, 5.10.233, 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:

ila: serialize calls to nf_register_net_hooks()

syzbot found a race in ila_add_mapping() [1]

commit 031ae72825ce ("ila: call nf_unregister_net_hooks() sooner")
attempted to fix a similar issue.

Looking at the syzbot repro, we have concurrent ILA_CMD_ADD commands.

Add a mutex to make sure at most one thread is calling nf_register_net_hooks().

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 5.4.289, 5.10.233, 5.15.176, 6.1.124, 6.6.70, 6.12.9
```
ステージング環境で 5.4.289, 5.10.233, 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。
