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-2022-49778 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-2022-49778/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49778/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49778","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49778/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49778","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49778","GHSA-54j7-px5q-9wrr","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49778"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A bug in the Linux kernel arm64 memory management causes a kernel panic when collapsing huge pages, leading to a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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":[{"id":"CWE-617","name":"Reachable Assertion"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\narm64/mm: fix incorrect file_map_count for non-leaf pmd/pud\n\nThe page table check trigger BUG_ON() unexpectedly when collapse hugepage:\n\n ------------[ cut here ]------------\n kernel BUG at mm/page_table_check.c:82!\n Internal error: Oops - BUG: 00000000f2000800 [#1] SMP\n Dumping ftrace buffer:\n    (ftrace buffer empty)\n Modules linked in:\n CPU: 6 PID: 68 Comm: khugepaged Not tainted 6.1.0-rc3+ #750\n Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT)\n pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)\n pc : page_table_check_clear.isra.0+0x258/0x3f0\n lr : page_table_check_clear.isra.0+0x240/0x3f0\n[...]\n Call trace:\n  page_table_check_clear.isra.0+0x258/0x3f0\n  __page_table_check_pmd_clear+0xbc/0x108\n  pmdp_collapse_flush+0xb0/0x160\n  collapse_huge_page+0xa08/0x1080\n  hpage_collapse_scan_pmd+0xf30/0x1590\n  khugepaged_scan_mm_slot.constprop.0+0x52c/0xac8\n  khugepaged+0x338/0x518\n  kthread+0x278/0x2f8\n  ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20\n[...]\n\nSince pmd_user_accessible_page() doesn't check if a pmd is leaf, it\ndecrease file_map_count for a non-leaf pmd comes from collapse_huge_page().\nand so trigger BUG_ON() unexpectedly.\n\nFix this problem by using pmd_leaf() insteal of pmd_present() in\npmd_user_accessible_page().
