Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

usb: renesas_usbhs: Fix synchronous external abort on unbind

A synchronous external abort occurs on the Renesas RZ/G3S SoC if unbind is
executed after the configuration sequence described above:

modprobe usb_f_ecm
modprobe libcomposite
modprobe configfs
cd /sys/kernel/config/usb_gadget
mkdir -p g1
cd g1
echo "0x1d6b" > idVendor
echo "0x0104" > idProduct
mkdir -p strings/0x409
echo "0123456789" > strings/0x409/serialnumber
echo "Renesas." > strings/0x409/manufacturer
echo "Ethernet Gadget" > strings/0x409/product
mkdir -p functions/ecm.usb0
mkdir -p configs/c.1
mkdir -p configs/c.1/strings/0x409
echo "ECM" > configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration

if [ ! -L configs/c.1/ecm.usb0 ]; then
ln -s functions/ecm.usb0 configs/c.1
fi

echo 11e20000.usb > UDC
echo 11e20000.usb > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/renesas_usbhs/unbind

The displayed trace is as follows:

A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Kernel.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Kernel.

🔥 Severity

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

🔧 How to fix

Update to 5.10.247, 5.15.197, 6.1.159, 6.6.119, 6.12.61, 6.17.11.

🛡️ 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 5.10.247, 5.15.197, 6.1.159, 6.6.119, 6.12.61, 6.17.11
```
ステージング環境で 5.10.247, 5.15.197, 6.1.159, 6.6.119, 6.12.61, 6.17.11 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。
