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-2022-49148 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-2022-49148/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49148/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49148","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49148/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49148","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49148","GHSA-p73w-x3r8-72c9","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49148"],"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 memory leak in the Linux kernel watch_queue component allows local attackers to exhaust system memory, potentially causing denial of service.","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":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","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-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwatch_queue: Free the page array when watch_queue is dismantled\n\nCommit 7ea1a0124b6d (\"watch_queue: Free the alloc bitmap when the\nwatch_queue is torn down\") took care of the bitmap, but not the page\narray.\n\n  BUG: memory leak\n  unreferenced object 0xffff88810d9bc140 (size 32):\n  comm \"syz-executor335\", pid 3603, jiffies 4294946994 (age 12.840s)\n  hex dump (first 32 bytes):\n    40 a7 40 04 00 ea ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  @.@.............\n    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................\n  backtrace:\n     kmalloc_array include/linux/slab.h:621 [inline]\n     kcalloc include/linux/slab.h:652 [inline]\n     watch_queue_set_size+0x12f/0x2e0 kernel/watch_queue.c:251\n     pipe_ioctl+0x82/0x140 fs/pipe.c:632\n     vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline]\n     __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:874 [inline]\n     __se_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:860 [inline]\n     __x64_sys_ioctl+0xfc/0x140 fs/ioctl.c:860\n     do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline]","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":"watch_queue: Free the page array when watch_queue is dismantled","id":"CVE-2022-49148","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"rxrpc: Fix call timer start racing with call destruction","id":"CVE-2022-49149"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"block: Fix the maximum minor value is blk_alloc_ext_minor()","id":"CVE-2022-49147"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-02-26","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 memory leak in the Linux kernel watch_queue component allows local attackers to exhaust system memory, potentially causing denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49148/"}
