CVSS Release:
CVE-2022-49118: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: hisi_sas: Free irq vectors in order for v3 HW If the driver probe fails to request the channel IRQ or fatal IRQ, the driver will free the IRQ vectors before freeing the IRQs in free_irq(), and this will cause a kernel BUG like this: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at drivers/pci/msi.c:369! Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Call trace: free_msi_irqs+0x118/0x13c pci_disable_msi+0xfc/0x120 pci_free_irq_vectors+0x24/0x3c hisi_sas_v3_probe+0x360/0x9d0 [hisi_sas_v3_hw] local_pci_probe+0x44/0xb0 work_for_cpu_fn+0x20/0x34 process_one_work+0x1d0/0x340 worker_thread+0x2e0/0x460 kthread+0x180/0x190 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 ---[ end trace b88990335b610c11 ]--- So we use devm_add_action() to control the order in which we free the vectors.
The exploitability of CVE-2022-49118 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-49118.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2022-49118, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2022-49118, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
The EPSS score estimates the probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the near future.
EPSS Score: 0.045% (probability of exploit)
EPSS Percentile: 18.4%
(lower percentile = lower relative risk)
This vulnerability is less risky than approximately 81.6% of others.
