Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-4696

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - There exists a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through iouring and the IORINGOPSPLICE operation.

There exists a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through io_uring and the IORING_OP_SPLICE operation. If IORING_OP_SPLICE is missing the IO_WQ_WORK_FILES flag which signals that the operation won't use current->nsproxy so its reference counter is not increased. This assumption is not always true as calling io_splice on specific files will call the get_uts function which will use current->nsproxy leading to invalidly decreasing its reference counter later causing the use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading to version 5.10.160 or above
