CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2022-49341 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, arm64: Clear prog->jited_len along prog->jited syzbot reported an illegal copy_to_user() attempt from bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd() [1] There was no repro yet on this bug, but I think that commit 0aef499f3172 ("mm/usercopy: Detect vmalloc overruns") is exposing a prior bug in bpf arm64. bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd() looks at prog->jited_len to determine if the JIT image can be copied out to user space. My theory is that syzbot managed to get a prog where prog->jited_len has been set to 43, while prog->bpf_func has ben cleared. It is not clear why copy_to_user(uinsns, NULL, ulen) is triggering this particular warning. I thought find_vma_area(NULL) would not find a vm_struct. As we do not hold vmap_area_lock spinlock, it might be possible that the found vm_struct was garbage. [1] usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from vmalloc (offset 792633534417210172, size 43)! kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:101!

Matched remediation archetype

General vulnerability remediation

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

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
