An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-48673 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-2022-48673/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-48673/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-48673","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-48673/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-48673","record":{"aliases":["AZL-42262","DEBIAN-CVE-2022-48673","GHSA-798m-xwf9-pjw6","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2022-48673","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2022-48673","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-48673"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's SMC module allows attackers to cause a system crash via improper memory handling during link clearing.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-755","name":"Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/smc: Fix possible access to freed memory in link clear\n\nAfter modifying the QP to the Error state, all RX WR would be completed\nwith WC in IB_WC_WR_FLUSH_ERR status.
