How to Fix CVE-2024-42085

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-42085, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-667: Improper Locking, where the product does not properly acquire or release a lock on a resource, leading to unexpected resource state changes and behaviors. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: core: remove lock of otg mode during gadget suspend/resume to avoid deadlock When config CONFIG_USB_DWC3_DUAL_ROLE is selected, and trigger system to enter suspend status with below command: echo mem > /sys/power/state There will be a deadlock issue occurring. Detailed invoking path as below: dwc3_suspend_common() spin_lock_irqsave(&dwc->lock, flags); <-- 1st dwc3_gadget_suspend(dwc); dwc3_gadget_soft_disconnect(dwc); spin_lock_irqsave(&dwc->lock, flags); <-- 2nd This issue is exposed by commit c7ebd8149ee5 ("usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix NULL pointer dereference in dwc3_gadget_suspend") that removes the code of checking whether dwc->gadget_driver is NULL or not. It causes the following code is executed and deadlock occurs when trying to get the spinlock. In fact, the root cause is the commit 5265397f9442("usb: dwc3: Remove DWC3 locking during gadget suspend/resume") that forgot to remove the lock of otg mode. So, remove the redundant lock of otg mode during gadget suspend/resume.
