Last modified
CVE-2022-2977 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel implementation of proxied virtualized TPM devices. On a system where virtualized TPM devices are configured (this is not the default) a local attacker can create a use-after-free and create a situation where it may be possible to escalate privileges on the system.. EPSS estimates a 0.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
