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-2022-49738 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-2022-49738/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49738/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49738","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49738/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49738","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49738","GHSA-x6ch-fhmp-9745","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49738"],"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 sanity check in the Linux kernel's f2fs filesystem allows out-of-bounds memory access, potentially causing a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nf2fs: fix to do sanity check on i_extra_isize in is_alive()\n\nsyzbot found a f2fs bug:\n\nBUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in data_blkaddr fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:2891 [inline]\nBUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in is_alive fs/f2fs/gc.c:1117 [inline]\nBUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in gc_data_segment fs/f2fs/gc.c:1520 [inline]\nBUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in do_garbage_collect+0x386a/0x3df0 fs/f2fs/gc.c:1734\nRead of size 4 at addr ffff888076557568 by task kworker/u4:3/52\n\nCPU: 1 PID: 52 Comm: kworker/u4:3 Not tainted 6.1.0-rc4-syzkaller-00362-gfef7fd48922d #0\nHardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 10/26/2022\nWorkqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-7:0)\nCall Trace:\n\u003cTASK\u003e\n__dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:88 [inline]\ndump_stack_lvl+0xcd/0x134 lib/dump_stack.c:106\nprint_address_description mm/kasan/report.c:284 [inline]\nprint_report+0x15e/0x45d mm/kasan/report.c:395\nkasan_report+0xbb/0x1f0 mm/kasan/report.c:495\ndata_blkaddr fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:2891 [inline]\nis_alive fs/f2fs/gc.c:1117 [inline]\ngc_data_segment fs/f2fs/gc.c:1520 [inline]\ndo_garbage_collect+0x386a/0x3df0 fs/f2fs/gc.c:1734\nf2fs_gc+0x88c/0x20a0 fs/f2fs/gc.c:1831\nf2fs_balance_fs+0x544/0x6b0 fs/f2fs/segment.c:410\nf2fs_write_inode+0x57e/0xe20 fs/f2fs/inode.c:753\nwrite_inode fs/fs-writeback.c:1440 [inline]\n__writeback_single_inode+0xcfc/0x1440 fs/fs-writeback.c:1652\nwriteback_sb_inodes+0x54d/0xf90 fs/fs-writeback.c:1870\nwb_writeback+0x2c5/0xd70 fs/fs-writeback.c:2044\nwb_do_writeback fs/fs-writeback.c:2187 [inline]\nwb_workfn+0x2dc/0x12f0 fs/fs-writeback.c:2227\nprocess_one_work+0x9bf/0x1710 kernel/workqueue.c:2289\nworker_thread+0x665/0x1080 kernel/workqueue.c:2436\nkthread+0x2e4/0x3a0 kernel/kthread.c:376\nret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:306\n\nThe root cause is that we forgot to do sanity check on .i_extra_isize\nin below path, result in accessing invalid address later, fix it.\n- gc_data_segment\n -
