CVE-2022-49827 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2022-49827: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in drm_vblank_destroy_worker() drm_vblank_init() call drmm_add_action_or_reset() with drm_vblank_init_release() as action. If __drmm_add_action() failed, will directly call drm_vblank_init_release() with the vblank whose worker is NULL. As the resule, a null-ptr-deref will happen in kthread_destroy_worker(). Add the NULL check before calling drm_vblank_destroy_worker(). BUG: null-ptr-deref KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000068-0x000000000000006f] CPU: 5 PID: 961 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 6.0.0-11331-gd465bff130bf-dirty RIP: 0010:kthread_destroy_worker+0x25/0xb0 Call Trace: <TASK> drm_vblank_init_release+0x124/0x220 [drm] ? drm_crtc_vblank_restore+0x8b0/0x8b0 [drm] __drmm_add_action_or_reset+0x41/0x50 [drm] drm_vblank_init+0x282/0x310 [drm] vkms_init+0x35f/0x1000 [vkms] ? 0xffffffffc4508000 ? lock_is_held_type+0xd7/0x130 ? __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x1c2/0x2b0 ? lock_is_held_type+0xd7/0x130 ? 0xffffffffc4508000 do_one_initcall+0xd0/0x4f0 ... do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-49827

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-49827 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-2022-49827

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-49827.

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-2022-49827, 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.
