# CVE-2022-49204: bpf, sockmap: Fix more uncharged while msg has more_data

> A double-uncharging bug in the Linux kernel's sockmap implementation can trigger kernel warnings and potential system instability during socket closure.

- **Severity:** Medium 5.5 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H`)
- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known
- **Login needed:** Any signed-in user
- **Attackable:** Local or same network only
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed
- **Fix available:** Yes
- **Published:** 26 Feb 2025
- **Updated:** 11 May 2026
- **Also known as:** DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49204, GHSA-49f2-6m7x-xrh9, UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49204

## What is CVE-2022-49204?

CVE-2022-49204 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 26 Feb 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, sockmap: Fix more uncharged while msg has more_data

In tcp_bpf_send_verdict(), if msg has more data after
tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir():

tcp_bpf_send_verdict()
 tosend = msg->sg.size  //msg->sg.size = 22220
 case __SK_REDIRECT:
  sk_msg_return()  //uncharged msg->sg.size(22220) sk->sk_forward_alloc
  tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir() //after tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir, msg->sg.size=11000
 goto more_data;
 tosend = msg->sg.size  //msg->sg.size = 11000
 case __SK_REDIRECT:
  sk_msg_return()  //uncharged msg->sg.size(11000) to sk->sk_forward_alloc

The msg->sg.size(11000) has been uncharged twice, to fix we can charge the
remaining msg->sg.size before goto more data.

This issue can cause the following info:

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2022-49204 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2022-49204 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 26 Feb 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-49204 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
