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-2022-49838 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-2022-49838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49838/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49838","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49838","GHSA-262x-vpc4-rwc6","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49838"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel SCTP","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel SCTP implementation allows a local attacker to cause a system crash by triggering specific message pruning conditions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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\nsctp: clear out_curr if all frag chunks of current msg are pruned\n\nA crash was reported by Zhen Chen:\n\n  list_del corruption, ffffa035ddf01c18-\u003enext is NULL\n  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 250682 at lib/list_debug.c:49 __list_del_entry_valid+0x59/0xe0\n  RIP: 0010:__list_del_entry_valid+0x59/0xe0\n  Call Trace:\n   sctp_sched_dequeue_common+0x17/0x70 [sctp]\n   sctp_sched_fcfs_dequeue+0x37/0x50 [sctp]\n   sctp_outq_flush_data+0x85/0x360 [sctp]\n   sctp_outq_uncork+0x77/0xa0 [sctp]\n   sctp_cmd_interpreter.constprop.0+0x164/0x1450 [sctp]\n   sctp_side_effects+0x37/0xe0 [sctp]\n   sctp_do_sm+0xd0/0x230 [sctp]\n   sctp_primitive_SEND+0x2f/0x40 [sctp]\n   sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc+0x3fa/0x5c0 [sctp]\n   sctp_sendmsg+0x3d5/0x440 [sctp]\n   sock_sendmsg+0x5b/0x70\n\nand in sctp_sched_fcfs_dequeue() it dequeued a chunk from stream\nout_curr outq while this outq was empty.\n\nNormally stream-\u003eout_curr must be set to NULL once all frag chunks of\ncurrent msg are dequeued, as we can see in sctp_sched_dequeue_done().\nHowever, in sctp_prsctp_prune_unsent() as it is not a proper dequeue,\nsctp_sched_dequeue_done() is not called to do this.\n\nThis patch is to fix it by simply setting out_curr to NULL when the\nlast frag chunk of current msg is dequeued from out_curr stream in\nsctp_prsctp_prune_unsent().","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"sctp: clear out_curr if all frag chunks of current msg are pruned","id":"CVE-2022-49838","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"scsi: scsi_transport_sas: Fix error handling in sas_phy_add()","id":"CVE-2022-49839"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"bpf: Fix memory leaks in __check_func_call","id":"CVE-2022-49837"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-05-01","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel SCTP implementation allows a local attacker to cause a system crash by triggering specific message pruning conditions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49838/"}
