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-2022-49607 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-2022-49607/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49607/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49607","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49607/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49607","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49607","GHSA-hx83-mq38-jp75","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49607"],"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 race condition in the Linux kernel perf subsystem can cause an infinite loop, leading to a denial of service.","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":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nperf/core: Fix data race between perf_event_set_output() and perf_mmap_close()\n\nYang Jihing reported a race between perf_event_set_output() and\nperf_mmap_close():\n\n\tCPU1\t\t\t\t\tCPU2\n\n\tperf_mmap_close(e2)\n\t  if (atomic_dec_and_test(\u0026e2-\u003erb-\u003emmap_count)) // 1 - \u003e 0\n\t    detach_rest = true\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\tioctl(e1, IOC_SET_OUTPUT, e2)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  perf_event_set_output(e1, e2)\n\n\t  ...\n\t  list_for_each_entry_rcu(e, \u0026e2-\u003erb-\u003eevent_list, rb_entry)\n\t    ring_buffer_attach(e, NULL);\n\t    // e1 isn't yet added and\n\t    // therefore not detached\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t    ring_buffer_attach(e1, e2-\u003erb)\n\t\t\t\t\t\t      list_add_rcu(\u0026e1-\u003erb_entry,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t   \u0026e2-\u003erb-\u003eevent_list)\n\nAfter this; e1 is attached to an unmapped rb and a subsequent\nperf_mmap() will loop forever more:\n\n\tagain:\n\t\tmutex_lock(\u0026e-\u003emmap_mutex);\n\t\tif (event-\u003erb) {\n\t\t\t...\n\t\t\tif (!atomic_inc_not_zero(\u0026e-\u003erb-\u003emmap_count)) {\n\t\t\t\t...\n\t\t\t\tmutex_unlock(\u0026e-\u003emmap_mutex);\n\t\t\t\tgoto again;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\nThe loop in perf_mmap_close() holds e2-\u003emmap_mutex, while the attach\nin perf_event_set_output() holds e1-\u003emmap_mutex.
