Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-48722
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description:
The issue is related to a memory leak in the Linux kernel's ieee802154 component, specifically in the ca8210 module. When an error occurs, the `ieee802154 xmit complete()` helper is not called, and only `ieee802154 wake queue()` is called manually, resulting in a leak of the `skb` structure. This can lead to a denial of service. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not available. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
Recommendations:
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
