Advisory Summary

CVE-2024-50150 is a HIGH (CVSS 7.8) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-416: Use After Free) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. at some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

How to Fix CVE-2024-50150

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-2024-50150, 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-416: Use After Free, where the product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. at some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. 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: typec: altmode should keep reference to parent The altmode device release refers to its parent device, but without keeping a reference to it. When registering the altmode, get a reference to the parent and put it in the release function. Before this fix, when using CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE, we see issues like this: [ 43.572860] kobject: 'port0.0' (ffff8880057ba008): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 3000) [ 43.573532] kobject: 'port0.1' (ffff8880057bd008): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 1000) [ 43.574407] kobject: 'port0' (ffff8880057b9008): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 3000) [ 43.575059] kobject: 'port1.0' (ffff8880057ca008): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 4000) [ 43.575908] kobject: 'port1.1' (ffff8880057c9008): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 4000) [ 43.576908] kobject: 'typec' (ffff8880062dbc00): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 4000) [ 43.577769] kobject: 'port1' (ffff8880057bf008): kobject_release, parent 0000000000000000 (delayed 3000) [ 46.612867] ================================================================== [ 46.613402] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in typec_altmode_release+0x38/0x129 [ 46.614003] Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880057b9118 by task kworker/2:1/48 [ 46.614538] [ 46.614668] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 48 Comm: kworker/2:1 Not tainted 6.12.0-rc1-00138-gedbae730ad31 #535 [ 46.615391] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014 [ 46.616042] Workqueue: events kobject_delayed_cleanup [ 46.616446] Call Trace: [ 46.616648] <TASK> [ 46.616820] dump_stack_lvl+0x5b/0x7c [ 46.617112] ? typec_altmode_release+0x38/0x129 [ 46.617470] print_report+0x14c/0x49e [ 46.617769] ? rcu_read_unlock_sched+0x56/0x69 [ 46.618117] ? __virt_addr_valid+0x19a/0x1ab [ 46.618456] ? kmem_cache_debug_flags+0xc/0x1d [ 46.618807] ? typec_altmode_release+0x38/0x129 [ 46.619161] kasan_report+0x8d/0xb4 [ 46.619447] ? typec_altmode_release+0x38/0x129 [ 46.619809] ? process_scheduled_works+0x3cb/0x85f [ 46.620185] typec_altmode_release+0x38/0x129 [ 46.620537] ? process_scheduled_works+0x3cb/0x85f [ 46.620907] device_release+0xaf/0xf2 [ 46.621206] kobject_delayed_cleanup+0x13b/0x17a [ 46.621584] process_scheduled_works+0x4f6/0x85f [ 46.621955] ? __pfx_process_scheduled_works+0x10/0x10 [ 46.622353] ? hlock_class+0x31/0x9a [ 46.622647] ? lock_acquired+0x361/0x3c3 [ 46.622956] ? move_linked_works+0x46/0x7d [ 46.623277] worker_thread+0x1ce/0x291 [ 46.623582] ? __kthread_parkme+0xc8/0xdf [ 46.623900] ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 [ 46.624236] kthread+0x17e/0x190 [ 46.624501] ? kthread+0xfb/0x190 [ 46.624756] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 46.625015] ret_from_fork+0x20/0x40 [ 46.625268] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 46.625532] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 [ 46.625805] </TASK> [ 46.625953] [ 46.626056] Allocated by task 678: [ 46.626287] kasan_save_stack+0x24/0x44 [ 46.626555] kasan_save_track+0x14/0x2d [ 46.626811] __kasan_kmalloc+0x3f/0x4d [ 46.627049] __kmalloc_noprof+0x1bf/0x1f0 [ 46.627362] typec_register_port+0x23/0x491 [ 46.627698] cros_typec_probe+0x634/0xbb6 [ 46.628026] platform_probe+0x47/0x8c [ 46.628311] really_probe+0x20a/0x47d [ 46.628605] device_driver_attach+0x39/0x72 [ 46.628940] bind_store+0x87/0xd7 [ 46.629213] kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x1aa/0x218 [ 46.629574] vfs_write+0x1d6/0x29b [ 46.629856] ksys_write+0xcd/0x13b [ 46.630128] do_syscall_64+0xd4/0x139 [ 46.630420] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e [ 46.630820] [ 46.630946] Freed by task 48: [ 46.631182] kasan_save_stack+0x24/0x44 [ 46.631493] kasan_save_track+0x14/0x2d [ 46.631799] kasan_save_free_info+0x3f/0x4d [ 46.632144] __kasan_slab_free+0x37/0x45 [ 46.632474] ---truncated---
