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-2022-49911 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-2022-49911/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49911/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49911","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49911/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49911","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49911","GHSA-wx74-4w24-9hwf","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49911"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel netfilter","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exhaust kernel memory by adding duplicate network entries to an ipset, causing 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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnetfilter: ipset: enforce documented limit to prevent allocating huge memory\n\nDaniel Xu reported that the hash:net,iface type of the ipset subsystem does\nnot limit adding the same network with different interfaces to a set, which\ncan lead to huge memory usage or allocation failure.\n\nThe quick reproducer is\n\n$ ipset create ACL.IN.ALL_PERMIT hash:net,iface hashsize 1048576 timeout 0\n$ for i in $(seq 0 100); do /sbin/ipset add ACL.IN.ALL_PERMIT 0.0.0.0/0,kaf_$i timeout 0 -exist; done\n\nThe backtrace when vmalloc fails:\n\n        [Tue Oct 25 00:13:08 2022] ipset: vmalloc error: size 1073741848, exceeds total pages\n        \u003c...\u003e\n        [Tue Oct 25 00:13:08 2022] Call Trace:\n        [Tue Oct 25 00:13:08 2022]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n        [Tue Oct 25 00:13:08 2022]  dump_stack_lvl+0x48/0x60\n        [Tue Oct 25 00:13:08 2022]  warn_alloc+0x155/0x180\n        [Tue Oct 25 00:13:08 2022]  __vmalloc_node_range+0x72a/0x760\n        [Tue Oct 25 00:13:08 2022]  ?
