CVE-2022-49032 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: health: afe4404: Fix oob read in afe4404_[read|write]_raw KASAN report out-of-bounds read as follows: BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in afe4404_read_raw+0x2ce/0x380 Read of size 4 at addr ffffffffc00e4658 by task cat/278 Call Trace: afe4404_read_raw iio_read_channel_info dev_attr_show The buggy address belongs to the variable: afe4404_channel_leds+0x18/0xffffffffffffe9c0 This issue can be reproduce by singe command: $ cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0058/iio\:device0/in_intensity6_raw The array size of afe4404_channel_leds and afe4404_channel_offdacs are less than channels, so access with chan->address cause OOB read in afe4404_[read|write]_raw. Fix it by moving access before use them.

Matched remediation archetype

Buffer bounds, memory safety, and memory corruption

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify affected native-code versions, build flags, architectures, parsers, codecs, drivers, and input paths in all shipped artifacts.
  • Determine whether untrusted data reaches the affected routine and the process privilege, sandbox, and network exposure.
  • Confirm statically linked, vendored, firmware, and platform-provided copies, not only package-manager records.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained upstream correction or replace the affected component, then rebuild every dependent artifact from clean inputs.
  • Adopt bounds-checked interfaces, validated sizes and integer conversions, clear ownership, and memory-safe components where practical.
  • Enable supported compiler and runtime hardening and add sanitized tests and fuzz regression seeds derived from non-weaponized fixtures.
