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-2022-49696 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-2022-49696/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49696/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49696","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49696/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49696","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49696","GHSA-9hgg-vxph-4hw9","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49696"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's TIPC subsystem allows attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntipc: fix use-after-free Read in tipc_named_reinit\n\nsyzbot found the following issue on:\n==================================================================\nBUG: KASAN: use-after-free in tipc_named_reinit+0x94f/0x9b0\nnet/tipc/name_distr.c:413\nRead of size 8 at addr ffff88805299a000 by task kworker/1:9/23764\n\nCPU: 1 PID: 23764 Comm: kworker/1:9 Not tainted\n5.18.0-rc4-syzkaller-00878-g17d49e6e8012 #0\nHardware name: Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine,\nBIOS Google 01/01/2011\nWorkqueue: events tipc_net_finalize_work\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:88 [inline]\n dump_stack_lvl+0xcd/0x134 lib/dump_stack.c:106\n print_address_description.constprop.0.cold+0xeb/0x495\nmm/kasan/report.c:313\n print_report mm/kasan/report.c:429 [inline]\n kasan_report.cold+0xf4/0x1c6 mm/kasan/report.c:491\n tipc_named_reinit+0x94f/0x9b0 net/tipc/name_distr.c:413\n tipc_net_finalize+0x234/0x3d0 net/tipc/net.c:138\n process_one_work+0x996/0x1610 kernel/workqueue.c:2289\n worker_thread+0x665/0x1080 kernel/workqueue.c:2436\n kthread+0x2e9/0x3a0 kernel/kthread.c:376\n ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:298\n \u003c/TASK\u003e\n[...]\n==================================================================\n\nIn the commit\nd966ddcc3821 (\"tipc: fix a deadlock when flushing scheduled work\"),\nthe cancel_work_sync() function just to make sure ONLY the work\ntipc_net_finalize_work() is executing/pending on any CPU completed before\ntipc namespace is destroyed through tipc_exit_net().
