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-2022-49947 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-2022-49947/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49947/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49947","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49947/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49947","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49947","GHSA-4hg9-w486-7gv5","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49947"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel binder","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel binder driver allows local attackers to cause a system crash via specific ioctl calls.","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":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbinder: fix alloc-\u003evma_vm_mm null-ptr dereference\n\nSyzbot reported a couple issues introduced by commit 44e602b4e52f\n(\"binder_alloc: add missing mmap_lock calls when using the VMA\"), in\nwhich we attempt to acquire the mmap_lock when alloc-\u003evma_vm_mm has not\nbeen initialized yet.\n\nThis can happen if a binder_proc receives a transaction without having\npreviously called mmap() to setup the binder_proc-\u003ealloc space in [1].\nAlso, a similar issue occurs via binder_alloc_print_pages() when we try\nto dump the debugfs binder stats file in [2].\n\nSample of syzbot's crash report:\n  ==================================================================\n  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000128-0x000000000000012f]\n  CPU: 0 PID: 3755 Comm: syz-executor229 Not tainted 6.0.0-rc1-next-20220819-syzkaller #0\n  syz-executor229[3755] cmdline: ./syz-executor2294415195\n  Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 07/22/2022\n  RIP: 0010:__lock_acquire+0xd83/0x56d0 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4923\n  [...]\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n   lock_acquire kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5666 [inline]\n   lock_acquire+0x1ab/0x570 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5631\n   down_read+0x98/0x450 kernel/locking/rwsem.c:1499\n   mmap_read_lock include/linux/mmap_lock.h:117 [inline]\n   binder_alloc_new_buf_locked drivers/android/binder_alloc.c:405 [inline]\n   binder_alloc_new_buf+0xa5/0x19e0 drivers/android/binder_alloc.c:593\n   binder_transaction+0x242e/0x9a80 drivers/android/binder.c:3199\n   binder_thread_write+0x664/0x3220 drivers/android/binder.c:3986\n   binder_ioctl_write_read drivers/android/binder.c:5036 [inline]\n   binder_ioctl+0x3470/0x6d00 drivers/android/binder.c:5323\n   vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:51 [inline]\n   __do_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:870 [inline]\n   __se_sys_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:856 [inline]\n   __x64_sys_ioctl+0x193/0x200 fs/ioctl.c:856\n   do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline]\n   do_syscall_64+0x35/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80\n   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd\n   [...]\n  ==================================================================\n\nFix these issues by setting up alloc-\u003evma_vm_mm pointer during open()\nand caching directly from current-\u003emm.
