CVE-2022-49128

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Feb 26, 2025 linux EPSS 0.25% (16th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-49128 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on February 26, 2025 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:

drm/bridge: Add missing pm_runtime_put_sync

pm_runtime_get_sync() will increase the rumtime PM counter

even when it returns an error. Thus a pairing decrement is needed

to prevent refcount leak. Fix this by replacing this API with

pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), which will not change the runtime

PM counter on error. Besides, a matching decrement is needed

on the error handling path to keep the counter balanced.

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.
