Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-48748). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.10.96, 5.15.19, 5.16.5 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

net: bridge: vlan: fix memory leak in __allowed_ingress

When using per-vlan state, if vlan snooping and stats are disabled,
untagged or priority-tagged ingress frame will go to check pvid state.
If the port state is forwarding and the pvid state is not
learning/forwarding, untagged or priority-tagged frame will be dropped
but skb memory is not freed.
Should free skb when __allowed_ingress returns false.

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 5.10.96, 5.15.19, 5.16.5
```
ステージング環境で 5.10.96, 5.15.19, 5.16.5 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。
