5.5 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2022-49522 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:
mmc: jz4740: Apply DMA engine limits to maximum segment size
Do what is done in other DMA-enabled MMC host drivers (cf. host/mmci.c) and
limit the maximum segment size based on the DMA engine's capabilities. This
is needed to avoid warnings like the following with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y.
