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-2022-49914 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-2022-49914/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49914/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49914","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49914/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49914","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49914","GHSA-jgm3-v9g7-rfc3","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49914"],"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 memory leak in the Linux kernel's btrfs filesystem can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service during backref walking errors.","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":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-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbtrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs()\n\nDuring backref walking, at resolve_indirect_refs(), if we get an error\nwe jump to the 'out' label and call ulist_free() on the 'parents' ulist,\nwhich frees all the elements in the ulist - however that does not free\nany inode lists that may be attached to elements, through the 'aux' field\nof a ulist node, so we end up leaking lists if we have any attached to\nthe unodes.\n\nFix this by calling free_leaf_list() instead of ulist_free() when we exit\nfrom resolve_indirect_refs().
