CVE-2022-49297 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2022-49297: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nbd: fix io hung while disconnecting device In our tests, "qemu-nbd" triggers a io hung: INFO: task qemu-nbd:11445 blocked for more than 368 seconds.

Then, "qemu-nbd -d" will call ioctl 'NBD_CLEAR_SOCK', however ioctl can't clear requests after commit 2516ab1543fd("nbd: only clear the queue on device teardown"). And in the meantime, request can't complete through timeout because nbd_xmit_timeout() will always return 'BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER', which means such request will never be completed in this situation. Now that the flag 'NBD_CMD_INFLIGHT' can make sure requests won't complete multiple times, switch back to call nbd_clear_sock() in nbd_clear_sock_ioctl(), so that inflight requests can be cleared.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-49297

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-49297 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).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2022-49297

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-49297.

Understanding AC and PR

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.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2022-49297, 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.

CIA Impact Analysis

Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2022-49297, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
