CVE-2022-4269
Last modified
CVE-2022-4269 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel Traffic Control (TC) subsystem. Using a specific networking configuration (redirecting egress packets to ingress using TC action "mirred") a local unprivileged user could trigger a CPU soft lockup (ABBA deadlock) when the transport protocol in use (TCP or SCTP) does a retransmission, resulting in a denial of service condition.. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
