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-2022-48744 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-2022-48744/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-48744/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-48744","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-48744/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-48744","record":{"aliases":["AZL-67887","DEBIAN-CVE-2022-48744","GHSA-932h-84vw-p6cw","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2022-48744","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2022-48744","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-48744"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A buffer overflow in the Linux kernel mlx5e driver allows attackers to corrupt memory, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/mlx5e: Avoid field-overflowing memcpy()\n\nIn preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time\nfield bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid\nintentionally writing across neighboring fields.\n\nUse flexible arrays instead of zero-element arrays (which look like they\nare always overflowing) and split the cross-field memcpy() into two halves\nthat can be appropriately bounds-checked by the compiler.\n\nWe were doing:\n\n\t#define ETH_HLEN  14\n\t#define VLAN_HLEN  4\n\t...\n\t#define MLX5E_XDP_MIN_INLINE (ETH_HLEN + VLAN_HLEN)\n\t...\n        struct mlx5e_tx_wqe      *wqe  = mlx5_wq_cyc_get_wqe(wq, pi);\n\t...\n        struct mlx5_wqe_eth_seg  *eseg = \u0026wqe-\u003eeth;\n        struct mlx5_wqe_data_seg *dseg = wqe-\u003edata;\n\t...\n\tmemcpy(eseg-\u003einline_hdr.start, xdptxd-\u003edata, MLX5E_XDP_MIN_INLINE);\n\ntarget is wqe-\u003eeth.inline_hdr.start (which the compiler sees as being\n2 bytes in size), but copying 18, intending to write across start\n(really vlan_tci, 2 bytes).
