It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-38014 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Azure EFLOW. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38014/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38014/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38014","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38014/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38014","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m4gv-frxm-mf27"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Subsystem for Linux","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit a race condition in the WSL2 kernel to elevate privileges on affected Windows systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"azure_iot_edge_for_linux","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_subsystem_for_linux","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38014","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38015"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":".NET Core and Visual Studio Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38013"},"products":["Azure EFLOW","Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2)"],"published":"2022-11-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a race condition in the WSL2 kernel to elevate privileges on affected Windows systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38014/"}
