CVE-2022-48958 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ethernet: aeroflex: fix potential skb leak in greth_init_rings() The greth_init_rings() function won't free the newly allocated skb when dma_mapping_error() returns error, so add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it. Compile tested only.. EPSS estimates a 0.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
