CVE-2022-49877 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2022-49877: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, sockmap: Fix the sk->sk_forward_alloc warning of sk_stream_kill_queues When running `test_sockmap` selftests, the following warning appears: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 197 at net/core/stream.c:205 sk_stream_kill_queues+0xd3/0xf0 Call Trace: <TASK> inet_csk_destroy_sock+0x55/0x110 tcp_rcv_state_process+0xd28/0x1380 ? tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x77/0x2c0 tcp_v4_do_rcv+0x77/0x2c0 __release_sock+0x106/0x130 __tcp_close+0x1a7/0x4e0 tcp_close+0x20/0x70 inet_release+0x3c/0x80 __sock_release+0x3a/0xb0 sock_close+0x14/0x20 __fput+0xa3/0x260 task_work_run+0x59/0xb0 exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0x1b3/0x1c0 syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x19/0x50 do_syscall_64+0x48/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae The root case is in commit 84472b436e76 ("bpf, sockmap: Fix more uncharged while msg has more_data"), where I used msg->sg.size to replace the tosend, causing breakage: if (msg->apply_bytes && msg->apply_bytes < tosend) tosend = psock->apply_bytes;

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-49877

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-49877 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-2022-49877

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-49877.

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-2022-49877, 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.
