CVE-2022-49537 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2022-49537: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: lpfc: Fix call trace observed during I/O with CMF enabled The following was seen with CMF enabled: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible code: systemd-udevd/31711 kernel: caller is lpfc_update_cmf_cmd+0x214/0x420 [lpfc] kernel: CPU: 12 PID: 31711 Comm: systemd-udevd kernel: Call Trace: kernel: <TASK> kernel: dump_stack_lvl+0x44/0x57 kernel: check_preemption_disabled+0xbf/0xe0 kernel: lpfc_update_cmf_cmd+0x214/0x420 [lpfc] kernel: lpfc_nvme_fcp_io_submit+0x23b4/0x4df0 [lpfc] this_cpu_ptr() calls smp_processor_id() in a preemptible context. Fix by using per_cpu_ptr() with raw_smp_processor_id() instead.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-49537

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-49537 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-2022-49537

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-49537.

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-2022-49537, 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
