CVE-2022-49127
Last modified
CVE-2022-49127 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ref_tracker: implement use-after-free detection Whenever ref_tracker_dir_init() is called, mark the struct ref_tracker_dir as dead. Test the dead status from ref_tracker_alloc() and ref_tracker_free() This should detect buggy dev_put()/dev_hold() happening too late in netdevice dismantle process.. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
