CVE-2022-49833 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: zoned: clone zoned device info when cloning a device When cloning a btrfs_device, we're not cloning the associated btrfs_zoned_device_info structure of the device in case of a zoned filesystem. Later on this leads to a NULL pointer dereference when accessing the device's zone_info for instance when setting a zone as active. This was uncovered by fstests' testcase btrfs/161.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
