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-2022-49003 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-2022-49003/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49003/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49003","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49003/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49003","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49003","GHSA-w33q-x299-hh5v","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49003"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NVMe driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel NVMe driver allows concurrent operations to cause a use-after-free, leading to a system crash.","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-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnvme: fix SRCU protection of nvme_ns_head list\n\nWalking the nvme_ns_head siblings list is protected by the head's srcu\nin nvme_ns_head_submit_bio() but not nvme_mpath_revalidate_paths().\nRemoving namespaces from the list also fails to synchronize the srcu.\nConcurrent scan work can therefore cause use-after-frees.\n\nHold the head's srcu lock in nvme_mpath_revalidate_paths() and\nsynchronize with the srcu, not the global RCU, in nvme_ns_remove().\n\nObserved the following panic when making NVMe/RDMA connections\nwith native multipath on the Rocky Linux 8.6 kernel\n(it seems the upstream kernel has the same race condition).\nDisassembly shows the faulting instruction is cmp 0x50(%rdx),%rcx;\ncomputing capacity != get_capacity(ns-\u003edisk).\nAddress 0x50 is dereferenced because ns-\u003edisk is NULL.\nThe NULL disk appears to be the result of concurrent scan work\nfreeing the namespace (note the log line in the middle of the panic).\n\n[37314.206036] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000050\n[37314.206036] nvme0n3: detected capacity change from 0 to 11811160064\n[37314.299753] PGD 0 P4D 0\n[37314.299756] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI\n[37314.299759] CPU: 29 PID: 322046 Comm: kworker/u98:3 Kdump: loaded Tainted: G        W      X --------- -  - 4.18.0-372.32.1.el8test86.x86_64 #1\n[37314.299762] Hardware name: Dell Inc.
