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-2022-49973 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-2022-49973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-49973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-49973/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-49973","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-49973","GHSA-fqp7-97qm-6gwm","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-49973"],"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 local attacker can trigger a kernel NULL pointer dereference in skmsg, causing a system crash and denial of service.","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\nskmsg: Fix wrong last sg check in sk_msg_recvmsg()\n\nFix one kernel NULL pointer dereference as below:\n\n[  224.462334] Call Trace:\n[  224.462394]  __tcp_bpf_recvmsg+0xd3/0x380\n[  224.462441]  ? sock_has_perm+0x78/0xa0\n[  224.462463]  tcp_bpf_recvmsg+0x12e/0x220\n[  224.462494]  inet_recvmsg+0x5b/0xd0\n[  224.462534]  __sys_recvfrom+0xc8/0x130\n[  224.462574]  ? syscall_trace_enter+0x1df/0x2e0\n[  224.462606]  ? __do_page_fault+0x2de/0x500\n[  224.462635]  __x64_sys_recvfrom+0x24/0x30\n[  224.462660]  do_syscall_64+0x5d/0x1d0\n[  224.462709]  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x65/0xca\n\nIn commit 9974d37ea75f (\"skmsg: Fix invalid last sg check in\nsk_msg_recvmsg()\"), we change last sg check to sg_is_last(),\nbut in sockmap redirection case (without stream_parser/stream_verdict/\nskb_verdict), we did not mark the end of the scatterlist.
