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-2022-42432 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. 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-2022-42432/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42432/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-42432","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42432/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-42432","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-42432","GHSA-6fx6-mv6x-h475","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-42432"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux Kernel","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local attackers with high privileges can disclose sensitive kernel memory via uninitialized memory in nft_osf_eval, potentially aiding code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"zdi","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-457","name":"Use of Uninitialized Variable"}],"description":"This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc2.

The issue results from the lack of proper initialization of memory prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.
