Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-48645)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-48645). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.15.71, 5.19.12 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: enetc: deny offload of tc-based TSN features on VF interfaces

TSN features on the ENETC (taprio, cbs, gate, police) are configured
through a mix of command BD ring messages and port registers:
enetc_port_rd(), enetc_port_wr().

Port registers are a region of the ENETC memory map which are only
accessible from the PCIe Physical Function. They are not accessible from
the Virtual Functions.

Moreover, attempting to access these registers crashes the kernel:

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Kernel' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade Kernel to 5.15.71, 5.19.12
```
ステージング環境で 5.15.71, 5.19.12 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
