Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-48898)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-48898). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.10.164, 5.15.89, 6.1.7 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

drm/msm/dp: do not complete dp_aux_cmd_fifo_tx() if irq is not for aux transfer

There are 3 possible interrupt sources are handled by DP controller,
HPDstatus, Controller state changes and Aux read/write transaction.
At every irq, DP controller have to check isr status of every interrupt
sources and service the interrupt if its isr status bits shows interrupts
are pending. There is potential race condition may happen at current aux
isr handler implementation since it is always complete dp_aux_cmd_fifo_tx()
even irq is not for aux read or write transaction. This may cause aux read
transaction return premature if host aux data read is in the middle of
waiting for sink to complete transferring data to host while irq happen.
This will cause host's receiving buffer contains unexpected data. This
patch fixes this problem by checking aux isr and return immediately at
aux isr handler if there are no any isr status bits set.

Current there is a bug report regrading eDP edid corruption happen during
system booting up. After lengthy debugging to found that VIDEO_READY
interrupt was continuously firing during system booting up which cause
dp_aux_isr() to complete dp_aux_cmd_fifo_tx() prematurely to retrieve data
from aux hardware buffer which is not yet contains complete data transfer
from sink. This cause edid corruption.

Follows are the signature at kernel logs when problem happen,
EDID has corrupt header

🔧 How to fix

Update to 5.10.164, 5.15.89, 6.1.7.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'Kernel' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

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 5.10.164, 5.15.89, 6.1.7
```
ステージング環境で 5.10.164, 5.15.89, 6.1.7 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。
