CVE-2022-48628

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Mar 2, 2024 linux EPSS 0.24% (15th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-48628 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on March 2, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ceph: drop messages from MDS when unmounting

When unmounting all the dirty buffers will be flushed and after

the last osd request is finished the last reference of the i_count

will be released. Then it will flush the dirty cap/snap to MDSs,

and the unmounting won't wait the possible acks, which will ihold

the inodes when updating the metadata locally but makes no sense

any more, of this. This will make the evict_inodes() to skip these

inodes.

If encrypt is enabled the kernel generate a warning when removing

the encrypt keys when the skipped inodes still hold the keyring:

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
