Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-48922)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-48922). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.10.103, 5.15.26, 5.16.12 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

riscv: fix oops caused by irqsoff latency tracer

The trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() require the caller to setup frame pointer
properly. This because these two functions use macro 'CALLER_ADDR1' (aka.
__builtin_return_address(1)) to acquire caller info. If the $fp is used
for other purpose, the code generated this macro (as below) could trigger
memory access fault.

0xffffffff8011510e <+80>: ld a1,-16(s0)
0xffffffff80115112 <+84>: ld s2,-8(a1) # <-- paging fault here

The oops message during booting if compiled with 'irqoff' tracer enabled:

❓ What is the problem

A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Kernel.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Kernel.

🔥 Severity

Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 5.10.103, 5.15.26, 5.16.12.

🛡️ 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 5.10.103, 5.15.26, 5.16.12
```
ステージング環境で 5.10.103, 5.15.26, 5.16.12 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。
