Last modified Jun 17, 2026

CVE-2022-23085 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.2/10 on the CVSS scale. A user-provided integer option was passed to nmreq_copyin() without checking if it would overflow. This insufficient bounds checking could lead to kernel memory corruption. On systems configured to include netmap in their devfs_ruleset, a privileged process running in a jail can affect the host environment.. EPSS estimates a 0.49% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
