It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-49968 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-2022-49968/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49968/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49968","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49968/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49968","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49968","GHSA-c2cg-7w87-rjjv","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49968"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel ADF7242 driver allows a use-after-free, potentially leading to code execution or system crash.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"},{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nieee802154/adf7242: defer destroy_workqueue call\n\nThere is a possible race condition (use-after-free) like below\n\n  (FREE)                     |  (USE)\n  adf7242_remove             |  adf7242_channel\n   cancel_delayed_work_sync  |\n    destroy_workqueue (1)    |   adf7242_cmd_rx\n                             |    mod_delayed_work (2)\n                             |\n\nThe root cause for this race is that the upper layer (ieee802154) is\nunaware of this detaching event and the function adf7242_channel can\nbe called without any checks.\n\nTo fix this, we can add a flag write at the beginning of adf7242_remove\nand add flag check in adf7242_channel.
