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-2022-49052 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-2022-49052/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49052/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49052","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49052/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49052","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49052","GHSA-783x-7hm8-jfwg","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49052"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel's zram swap handling allows attackers to corrupt user process memory by reading zeroed pages.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm: fix unexpected zeroed page mapping with zram swap\n\nTwo processes under CLONE_VM cloning, user process can be corrupted by\nseeing zeroed page unexpectedly.\n\n      CPU A                        CPU B\n\n  do_swap_page                do_swap_page\n  SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path     SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO path\n  swap_readpage valid data\n    swap_slot_free_notify\n      delete zram entry\n                              swap_readpage zeroed(invalid) data\n                              pte_lock\n                              map the *zero data* to userspace\n                              pte_unlock\n  pte_lock\n  if (!pte_same)\n    goto out_nomap;\n  pte_unlock\n  return and next refault will\n  read zeroed data\n\nThe swap_slot_free_notify is bogus for CLONE_VM case since it doesn't\nincrease the refcount of swap slot at copy_mm so it couldn't catch up\nwhether it's safe or not to discard data from backing device.
