What is known

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: ufs: core: Start the RTC update work later The RTC update work involves runtime resuming the UFS controller. Hence, only start the RTC update work after runtime power management in the UFS driver has been fully initialized. This patch fixes the following kernel crash: Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Workqueue: events ufshcd_rtc_work Call trace: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x34/0x8c (P) pm_runtime_get_if_active+0x24/0x9c (L) pm_runtime_get_if_active+0x24/0x9c ufshcd_rtc_work+0x138/0x1b4 process_one_work+0x148/0x288 worker_thread+0x2cc/0x3d4 kthread+0x110/0x114 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2024-53067, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.5) affecting linux kernel, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether linux kernel is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation.
