8.8 · HIGH
Published Apr 28, 2024 linux CWE-476 EPSS 0.29% (21th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-48652 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on April 28, 2024 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

ice: Fix crash by keep old cfg when update TCs more than queues

There are problems if allocated queues less than Traffic Classes.

Commit a632b2a4c920 ("ice: ethtool: Prohibit improper channel config

for DCB") already disallow setting less queues than TCs.

Another case is if we first set less queues, and later update more TCs

config due to LLDP, ice_vsi_cfg_tc() will failed but left dirty

num_txq/rxq and tc_cfg in vsi, that will cause invalid pointer access.

[ 95.968089] ice 0000:3b:00.1: More TCs defined than queues/rings allocated.

[ 95.968092] ice 0000:3b:00.1: Trying to use more Rx queues (8), than were allocated (1)!

[ 95.968093] ice 0000:3b:00.1: Failed to config TC for VSI index: 0
