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-2022-49340 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-2022-49340/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49340/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49340","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49340/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49340","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49340","GHSA-4qqr-2jj8-h8q8","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49340"],"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 validation in the Linux kernel GRE tunnel driver can cause an integer overflow, leading to a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"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:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nip_gre: test csum_start instead of transport header\n\nGRE with TUNNEL_CSUM will apply local checksum offload on\nCHECKSUM_PARTIAL packets.\n\nipgre_xmit must validate csum_start after an optional skb_pull,\nelse lco_csum may trigger an overflow.
