CVE-2022-47946
CVSS v3.1
5.5
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions 5.10.x through 5.10.154
Description
The issue is related to a use-after-free in the
io sqpoll wait sq function in fs/io uring.c, which allows an attacker to crash the kernel, resulting in denial of service. The finish wait function can be skipped. An attack can occur in some situations by forking a process and then quickly terminating it.Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions 5.10.x through 5.10.154, update to a version after 5.10.155 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
io sqpoll wait sq function in fs/io uring.c to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid forking and quickly terminating processes to reduce the likelihood of an attack.Exploit
