How to Fix CVE-2024-56545

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-2024-56545, 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 General Security Weakness. 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: HID: hyperv: streamline driver probe to avoid devres issues It was found that unloading 'hid_hyperv' module results in a devres complaint: ... hv_vmbus: unregistering driver hid_hyperv ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 3983 at drivers/base/devres.c:691 devres_release_group+0x1f2/0x2c0 ... Call Trace: <TASK> ? devres_release_group+0x1f2/0x2c0 ? __warn+0xd1/0x1c0 ? devres_release_group+0x1f2/0x2c0 ? report_bug+0x32a/0x3c0 ? handle_bug+0x53/0xa0 ? exc_invalid_op+0x18/0x50 ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x1a/0x20 ? devres_release_group+0x1f2/0x2c0 ? devres_release_group+0x90/0x2c0 ? rcu_is_watching+0x15/0xb0 ? __pfx_devres_release_group+0x10/0x10 hid_device_remove+0xf5/0x220 device_release_driver_internal+0x371/0x540 ? klist_put+0xf3/0x170 bus_remove_device+0x1f1/0x3f0 device_del+0x33f/0x8c0 ? __pfx_device_del+0x10/0x10 ? cleanup_srcu_struct+0x337/0x500 hid_destroy_device+0xc8/0x130 mousevsc_remove+0xd2/0x1d0 [hid_hyperv] device_release_driver_internal+0x371/0x540 driver_detach+0xc5/0x180 bus_remove_driver+0x11e/0x2a0 ? __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x160/0x5e0 vmbus_driver_unregister+0x62/0x2b0 [hv_vmbus] ... And the issue seems to be that the corresponding devres group is not allocated. Normally, devres_open_group() is called from __hid_device_probe() but Hyper-V HID driver overrides 'hid_dev->driver' with 'mousevsc_hid_driver' stub and basically re-implements __hid_device_probe() by calling hid_parse() and hid_hw_start() but not devres_open_group(). hid_device_probe() does not call __hid_device_probe() for it. Later, when the driver is removed, hid_device_remove() calls devres_release_group() as it doesn't check whether hdev->driver was initially overridden or not. The issue seems to be related to the commit 62c68e7cee33 ("HID: ensure timely release of driver-allocated resources") but the commit itself seems to be correct. Fix the issue by dropping the 'hid_dev->driver' override and using hid_register_driver()/hid_unregister_driver() instead. Alternatively, it would have been possible to rely on the default handling but HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT implies HID_CONNECT_HIDRAW and it doesn't seem to work for mousevsc as-is.
