CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2022-49506 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/mediatek: Add vblank register/unregister callback functions We encountered a kernel panic issue that callback data will be NULL when it's using in ovl irq handler. There is a timing issue between mtk_disp_ovl_irq_handler() and mtk_ovl_disable_vblank(). To resolve this issue, we use the flow to register/unregister vblank cb: - Register callback function and callback data when crtc creates. - Unregister callback function and callback data when crtc destroies. With this solution, we can assure callback data will not be NULL when vblank is disable.

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.
