CVE-2022-49709 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2022-49709: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cfi: Fix __cfi_slowpath_diag RCU usage with cpuidle RCU_NONIDLE usage during __cfi_slowpath_diag can result in an invalid RCU state in the cpuidle code path: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at kernel/rcu/tree.c:613 rcu_eqs_enter+0xe4/0x138 ... Call trace: rcu_eqs_enter+0xe4/0x138 rcu_idle_enter+0xa8/0x100 cpuidle_enter_state+0x154/0x3a8 cpuidle_enter+0x3c/0x58 do_idle.llvm.6590768638138871020+0x1f4/0x2ec cpu_startup_entry+0x28/0x2c secondary_start_kernel+0x1b8/0x220 __secondary_switched+0x94/0x98 Instead, call rcu_irq_enter/exit to wake up RCU only when needed and disable interrupts for the entire CFI shadow/module check when we do.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-49709

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-49709 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-2022-49709

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-49709.

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-2022-49709, 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-2022-49709, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
