CVE-2022-49156

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Feb 26, 2025 linux EPSS 0.26% (18th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-49156 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:

scsi: qla2xxx: Fix scheduling while atomic

The driver makes a call into midlayer (fc_remote_port_delete) which can put

the thread to sleep. The thread that originates the call is in interrupt

context. The combination of the two trigger a crash. Schedule the call in

non-interrupt context where it is more safe.
