CVE-2024-44987 remediation guide

Linux Linux, RUGGEDCOM RST2428P, SCALANCE XC-300/XR-300/XC-400/XR-500WG/XR-500 family

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: prevent UAF in ip6_send_skb() syzbot reported an UAF in ip6_send_skb() [1] After ip6_local_out() has returned, we no longer can safely dereference rt, unless we hold rcu_read_lock(). A similar issue has been fixed in commit a688caa34beb ("ipv6: take rcu lock in rawv6_send_hdrinc()") Another potential issue in ip6_finish_output2() is handled in a separate patch. [1] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in ip6_send_skb+0x18d/0x230 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1964 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88806dde4858 by task syz.1.380/6530 CPU:...

01

Identify the affected asset

Confirm whether Linux Linux, RUGGEDCOM RST2428P, SCALANCE XC-300/XR-300/XC-400/XR-500WG/XR-500 family is installed, record the deployed version and installation path, and identify exposed interfaces.

  • Record the product name, package or appliance identifier, and installed version.
  • Identify internet-facing, administrative, API, and internal access paths.
  • Preserve the pre-change configuration and relevant service logs.
02

Validate the affected-version match

Compare the deployed version with the affected range: >= 0625491493d9000e4556bf566d205c28c8e7dc4e < 571567e0277008459750f0728f246086b2659429, >= 0625491493d9000e4556bf566d205c28c8e7dc4e < ce2f6cfab2c637d0bd9762104023a15d0ab7c0a8, >= 0625491493d9000e4556bf566d205c28c8e7dc4e < cb5880a0de12c7f618d2bdd84e2d985f1e06ed7e, >= 0625491493d9000e4556bf566d205c28c8e7dc4e < 24e93695b1239fbe4c31e224372be77f82dab69a, >= 0625491493d9000e4556bf566d205c28c8e7dc4e < 9a3e55afa95ed4ac9eda112d4f918af645d72f25, >= 0625491493d9000e4556bf566d205c28c8e7dc4e < af1dde074ee2ed7dd5bdca4e7e8ba17f44e7b011, >= 0625491493d9000e4556bf566d205c28c8e7dc4e < e44bd76dd072756e674f45c5be00153f4ded68b2, >= 0625491493d9000e4556bf566d205c28c8e7dc4e < faa389b2fbaaec7fd27a390b4896139f9da662e3, >= 2.6.32, < V3.2, < V3.1, >= 2.6.32 < 4.19.321, >= 4.20 < 5.4.283, >= 5.5 < 5.10.225, >= 5.11 < 5.15.166, >= 5.16 < 6.1.107, >= 6.2 < 6.6.48, >= 6.7 < 6.10.7, 6.11. Treat incomplete inventory results as unresolved.

03

Prioritize with independent signals

The CVSS severity warrants an early asset and exposure review. Combine this signal with asset criticality, exposure, compensating controls, and business impact.

04

Apply supported remediation

Follow the vendor advisory or supported update path. Current fixed-version status: 4.19.321, 5.4.283, 5.10.225, 5.15.166, 6.1.107, 6.6.48, 6.10.7. Preserve configuration and rollback material before change.

05

Verify the result

Confirm the resulting version, service health, authentication and access paths, monitoring coverage, and relevant security logs.

  • Confirm the expected version and package state.
  • Run a functional health check for critical service paths.
  • Review authentication, error, application, and security monitoring logs.
  • Reassess exposure if the supported fix cannot be applied.

Operational boundary

This page does not replace the vendor advisory, support contract, change-management process, or recovery plan. Do not infer that an asset is unaffected from an incomplete inventory query or a missing fixed-version field.
