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-2022-48762 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-2022-48762/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-48762/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-48762","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-48762/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-48762","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-48762","GHSA-vj7w-cq55-7h2m","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-48762"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A bug in the Linux kernel arm64 exception handler causes arbitrary register corruption and null pointer dereferences, leading to system crashes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\narm64: extable: fix load_unaligned_zeropad() reg indices\n\nIn ex_handler_load_unaligned_zeropad() we erroneously extract the data and\naddr register indices from ex-\u003etype rather than ex-\u003edata. As ex-\u003etype will\ncontain EX_TYPE_LOAD_UNALIGNED_ZEROPAD (i.e. 4):\n * We'll always treat X0 as the address register, since EX_DATA_REG_ADDR is\n   extracted from bits [9:5]. Thus, we may attempt to dereference an\n   arbitrary address as X0 may hold an arbitrary value.\n * We'll always treat X4 as the data register, since EX_DATA_REG_DATA is\n   extracted from bits [4:0].
