CVE-2022-49899 fscrypt: stop using keyrings subsystem for fscrypt_master_key

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fscrypt: stop using keyrings subsystem for fscryptmasterkey The approach of fs/crypto/ internally managing the fscryptmasterkey structs as the payloads of "struct key" objects contained in a "struct key" keyring has outlived its...

CVE-2022-49899

The CVE-2022-49899 issue concerns the Linux kernel fscrypt master keys: the fs/crypto layer previously stored fscrypt_master_key objects inside the keyrings subsystem, risking use-after-free scenarios and deadlocks. The fix removes dependency on keyrings, storing master keys in a regular kernel d...

CVE-2022-49898 btrfs: fix tree mod log mishandling of reallocated nodes

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix tree mod log mishandling of reallocated nodes We have been seeing the following panic in production kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/tree-mod-log.c:677! invalid opcode: 0000 1 SMP RIP: 0010:treemodlogrewind+0x1b4/0x200 RSP:...

CVE-2022-49898

CVE-2022-49898 concerns the Linux kernel’s BTRFS tree modification log handling. Connected sources describe a reproducible kernel panic: during replay of tree modification log entries, a REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING entry can be processed with an insufficiently checked slot count, triggering a BUG_ON whe...

CVE-2022-49895

CVE-2022-49895 concerns the Linux kernel fix for a NULL pointer dereference in the cxl/region path. When an intermediate port’s decoders are exhausted and a new region is added in its hierarchical path, cxl_port_attach_region() may fail to find a port decoder and fall through to cleanup. During t...

CVE-2022-49895 cxl/region: Fix decoder allocation crash

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Fix decoder allocation crash When an intermediate port's decoders have been exhausted by existing regions, and creating a new region with the port in question in it's hierarchical path is attempted, cxlportattachregio...

CVE-2022-49892 ftrace: Fix use-after-free for dynamic ftrace_ops

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ftrace: Fix use-after-free for dynamic ftraceops KASAN reported a use-after-free with ftrace ops 1. It was found from vmcore that perf had registered two ops with the same content successively, both dynamic. After unregistering t...

CVE-2022-49891

CVE-2022-49891 concerns a Linux kernel memory-leak in tracing/kprobe handling. The root cause is that test_gen_kprobe_cmd() frees buf only on the fail path, causing a leak when no failure occurs; the patch moves kfree(buf) from the fail path to the common path, and applies the same fix to test_ge...

CVE-2022-49890 capabilities: fix potential memleak on error path from vfs_getxattr_alloc()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: capabilities: fix potential memleak on error path from vfsgetxattralloc In capinodegetsecurity, we will use vfsgetxattralloc to complete the memory allocation of tmpbuf, if we have completed the memory allocation of tmpbuf, but...

CVE-2022-49886

The CVE-2022-49886 issue affects the Linux kernel related to x86/tdx memory handling. The vulnerability stems from how private memory (TDX private memory, including kernel stacks/text) may trigger a virtualization exception (#VE) and the difficulty of handling such exceptions. The root cause desc...

CVE-2022-49885

CVE-2022-49885 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in ACPI APEI where ghes_estatus_pool_init() can overflow due to signed integer math during len calculation (len += (num_ghes * GHES_ESOURCE_PREALLOC_MAX_SIZE)). The root cause is using int for num_ghes, which can overflow and cause subsequent vmalloc...

CVE-2022-49884

CVE-2022-49884 relates to Linux kernel KVM: gfn_to_pfn_cache lock initialization, which was moved to a dedicated helper during VM/vCPU creation to address race conditions that could occur if kvm_gfn_to_pfn_cache_init() re-initializes locks.
