CVE-2024-53184 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: um: ubd: Do not use drvdata in release The drvdata is not available in release. Let's just use container_of() to get the ubd instance. Otherwise, removing a ubd device will result in a crash: RIP: 0033:blk_mq_free_tag_set+0x1f/0xba RSP: 00000000e2083bf0 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 000000006021463a RBX: 0000000000000348 RCX: 0000000062604d00 RDX: 0000000004208060 RSI: 00000000605241a0 RDI: 0000000000000348 RBP: 00000000e2083c10 R08: 0000000062414010 R09: 00000000601603f7 R10: 000000000000133a R11: 000000006038c4bd R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000060213a5c R14: 0000000062405d20 R15: 00000000604f7aa0 Kernel panic - not syncing: Segfault with no mm CPU: 0 PID: 17 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 6.8.0-rc3-00107-gba3f67c11638 #1 Workqueue: events mc_work_proc Stack: 00000000 604f7ef0 62c5d000 62405d20 e2083c30 6002c776 6002c755 600e47ff e2083c60 6025ffe3 04208060 603d36e0 Call Trace: [<6002c776>] ubd_device_release+0x21/0x55 [<6002c755>] ? ubd_device_release+0x0/0x55 [<600e47ff>] ? kfree+0x0/0x100 [<6025ffe3>] device_release+0x70/0xba [<60381d6a>] kobject_put+0xb5/0xe2 [<6026027b>] put_device+0x19/0x1c [<6026a036>] platform_d…

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
