Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-48619
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions prior to 5.17.10
**Description**
The issue is related to the `input set capability()` function in the Linux kernel, which can lead to an uncontrolled consumption of resources. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service (panic) because `input set capability()` mishandles the situation in which an event code falls outside of a bitmap.
**Recommendations**
For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.17.10, update to version 5.17.10 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `input set capability()` function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
