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-2022-48972 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-2022-48972/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-48972/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-48972","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-48972/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-48972","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-48972","GHSA-64w2-5c96-v3qj","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-48972"],"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 missing list initialization in the Linux kernel mac802154 subsystem causes a null pointer dereference, leading to a system crash during device registration.","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":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/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\nmac802154: fix missing INIT_LIST_HEAD in ieee802154_if_add()\n\nKernel fault injection test reports null-ptr-deref as follows:\n\nBUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008\nRIP: 0010:cfg802154_netdev_notifier_call+0x120/0x310 include/linux/list.h:114\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n raw_notifier_call_chain+0x6d/0xa0 kernel/notifier.c:87\n call_netdevice_notifiers_info+0x6e/0xc0 net/core/dev.c:1944\n unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0x60d/0xcb0 net/core/dev.c:1982\n unregister_netdevice_queue+0x154/0x1a0 net/core/dev.c:10879\n register_netdevice+0x9a8/0xb90 net/core/dev.c:10083\n ieee802154_if_add+0x6ed/0x7e0 net/mac802154/iface.c:659\n ieee802154_register_hw+0x29c/0x330 net/mac802154/main.c:229\n mcr20a_probe+0xaaa/0xcb1 drivers/net/ieee802154/mcr20a.c:1316\n\nieee802154_if_add() allocates wpan_dev as netdev's private data, but not\ninit the list in struct wpan_dev. cfg802154_netdev_notifier_call() manage\nthe list when device register/unregister, and may lead to null-ptr-deref.\n\nUse INIT_LIST_HEAD() on it to initialize it correctly.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"mac802154: fix missing INIT_LIST_HEAD in ieee802154_if_add()","id":"CVE-2022-48972","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"gpio: amd8111: Fix PCI device reference count leak","id":"CVE-2022-48973"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Bluetooth: Fix not cleanup led when bt_init fails","id":"CVE-2022-48971"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-10-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A missing list initialization in the Linux kernel mac802154 subsystem causes a null pointer dereference, leading to a system crash during device registration.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-48972/"}
