Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2026-23047)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2026-23047). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.10.248, 5.15.198, 6.1.161, 6.6.121, 6.12.66, 6.18.6 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

libceph: make calc_target() set t->paused, not just clear it

Currently calc_target() clears t->paused if the request shouldn't be
paused anymore, but doesn't ever set t->paused even though it's able to
determine when the request should be paused. Setting t->paused is left
to __submit_request() which is fine for regular requests but doesn't
work for linger requests -- since __submit_request() doesn't operate
on linger requests, there is nowhere for lreq->t.paused to be set.
One consequence of this is that watches don't get reestablished on
paused -> unpaused transitions in cases where requests have been paused
long enough for the (paused) unwatch request to time out and for the
subsequent (re)watch request to enter the paused state. On top of the
watch not getting reestablished, rbd_reregister_watch() gets stuck with
rbd_dev->watch_mutex held:

rbd_register_watch
__rbd_register_watch
ceph_osdc_watch
linger_reg_commit_wait

It's waiting for lreq->reg_commit_wait to be completed, but for that to
happen the respective request needs to end up on need_resend_linger list
and be kicked when requests are unpaused. There is no chance for that
if the request in question is never marked paused in the first place.

The fact that rbd_dev->watch_mutex remains taken out forever then
prevents the image from getting unmapped -- "rbd unmap" would inevitably
hang in D state on an attempt to grab the mute…

Update to 5.10.248, 5.15.198, 6.1.161, 6.6.121, 6.12.66, 6.18.6.

🛡️ 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 5.10.248, 5.15.198, 6.1.161, 6.6.121, 6.12.66, 6.18.6
```
ステージング環境で 5.10.248, 5.15.198, 6.1.161, 6.6.121, 6.12.66, 6.18.6 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。
