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-2022-49658 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-2022-49658/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49658/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49658","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49658/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49658","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49658","GHSA-hfgw-x7g5-fgj8","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49658"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel BPF verifier allows attackers to leak kernel pointers by bypassing bounds checks, potentially aiding privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Fix insufficient bounds propagation from adjust_scalar_min_max_vals\n\nKuee reported a corner case where the tnum becomes constant after the call\nto __reg_bound_offset(), but the register's bounds are not, that is, its\nmin bounds are still not equal to the register's max bounds.\n\nThis in turn allows to leak pointers through turning a pointer register as\nis into an unknown scalar via adjust_ptr_min_max_vals().\n\nBefore:\n\n  func#0 @0\n  0: R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0,umax=0,var_off=(0x0; 0x0)) R10=fp(off=0,imm=0,umax=0,var_off=(0x0; 0x0))\n  0: (b7) r0 = 1                        ; R0_w=scalar(imm=1,umin=1,umax=1,var_off=(0x1; 0x0))\n  1: (b7) r3 = 0                        ; R3_w=scalar(imm=0,umax=0,var_off=(0x0; 0x0))\n  2: (87) r3 = -r3                      ; R3_w=scalar()\n  3: (87) r3 = -r3                      ; R3_w=scalar()\n  4: (47) r3 |= 32767                   ; R3_w=scalar(smin=-9223372036854743041,umin=32767,var_off=(0x7fff; 0xffffffffffff8000),s32_min=-2147450881)\n  5: (75) if r3 s\u003e= 0x0 goto pc+1       ; R3_w=scalar(umin=9223372036854808575,var_off=(0x8000000000007fff; 0x7fffffffffff8000),s32_min=-2147450881,u32_min=32767)\n  6: (95) exit\n\n  from 5 to 7: R0=scalar(imm=1,umin=1,umax=1,var_off=(0x1; 0x0)) R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0,umax=0,var_off=(0x0; 0x0)) R3=scalar(umin=32767,umax=9223372036854775807,var_off=(0x7fff; 0x7fffffffffff8000),s32_min=-2147450881) R10=fp(off=0,imm=0,umax=0,var_off=(0x0; 0x0))\n  7: (d5) if r3 s\u003c= 0x8000 goto pc+1    ; R3=scalar(umin=32769,umax=9223372036854775807,var_off=(0x7fff; 0x7fffffffffff8000),s32_min=-2147450881,u32_min=32767)\n  8: (95) exit\n\n  from 7 to 9: R0=scalar(imm=1,umin=1,umax=1,var_off=(0x1; 0x0)) R1=ctx(off=0,imm=0,umax=0,var_off=(0x0; 0x0)) R3=scalar(umin=32767,umax=32768,var_off=(0x7fff; 0x8000)) R10=fp(off=0,imm=0,umax=0,var_off=(0x0; 0x0))\n  9: (07) r3 += -32767                  ; R3_w=scalar(imm=0,umax=1,var_off=(0x0; 0x0))  \u003c--- [*]\n  10: (95) exit\n\nWhat can be seen here is that R3=scalar(umin=32767,umax=32768,var_off=(0x7fff;\n0x8000)) after the operation R3 += -32767 results in a 'malformed' constant, that\nis, R3_w=scalar(imm=0,umax=1,var_off=(0x0; 0x0)).
