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-2022-49885 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-2022-49885/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49885/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49885","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49885/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49885","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49885","GHSA-vq36-qmwm-crh2","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49885"],"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":"Integer overflow in Linux kernel ACPI APEI code causes vmalloc failure, leading to denial of service during system initialization.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","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-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nACPI: APEI: Fix integer overflow in ghes_estatus_pool_init()\n\nChange num_ghes from int to unsigned int, preventing an overflow\nand causing subsequent vmalloc() to fail.\n\nThe overflow happens in ghes_estatus_pool_init() when calculating\nlen during execution of the statement below as both multiplication\noperands here are signed int:\n\nlen += (num_ghes * GHES_ESOURCE_PREALLOC_MAX_SIZE);\n\nThe following call trace is observed because of this bug:\n\n[    9.317108] swapper/0: vmalloc error: size 18446744071562596352, exceeds total pages, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0-1\n[    9.317131] Call Trace:\n[    9.317134]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[    9.317137]  dump_stack_lvl+0x49/0x5f\n[    9.317145]  dump_stack+0x10/0x12\n[    9.317146]  warn_alloc.cold+0x7b/0xdf\n[    9.317150]  ?
