The following signature is seen: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000030 [...] Call Trace: sc_disable+0x1ba/0x240 [hfi1] pio_freeze+0x3d/0x60 [hfi1] handle_freeze+0x27/0x1b0 [hfi1] process_one_work+0x1b0/0x380 ? process_one_work+0x380/0x380 worker_thread+0x30/0x360 ? process_one_work+0x380/0x380 kthread+0xd7/0x100 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 The fix is to use the correct call to move the list.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-49931

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-49931 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-2022-49931

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-49931.

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.
