What is the problem

A vulnerability (CWE-170) exists in Kernel.

Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Kernel.

Severity

Severity: High (CVSS 8.4/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.

How to fix

Update to 5.10.258, 5.15.209, 6.1.175, 6.6.141, 6.12.91, 6.18.33, 7.0.10.

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. 1
    Identify exposureidentify
    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. 2
    Apply patchpatch
    Upgrade Kernel to 5.10.258, 5.15.209, 6.1.175, 6.6.141, 6.12.91, 6.18.33, 7.0.10

    ステージング環境で 5.10.258, 5.15.209, 6.1.175, 6.6.141, 6.12.91, 6.18.33, 7.0.10 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. 3
    Post-deployment verificationverify
    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。

Original description The description as published by the source.

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

RDMA/core: Prefer NLA_NUL_STRING

These attributes are evaluated as c-string (passed to strcmp), but
NLA_STRING doesn't check for the presence of a \0 terminator.

Either this needs to switch to nla_strcmp() and needs to adjust printf fmt
specifier to not use plain %s, or this needs to use NLA_NUL_STRING.

As the code has been this way for long time, it seems to me that userspace
does include the terminating nul, even tough its not enforced so far, and
thus NLA_NUL_STRING use is the simpler solution.
