CVE-2022-49112 (Linux kernel) — CVSS v3 5.5
Attack vector: local / no user interaction
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.5/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.

Original description The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mt76: fix monitor mode crash with sdio driver
mt7921s driver may receive frames with fragment buffers. If there is a
CTS packet received in monitor mode, the payload is 10 bytes only and
need 6 bytes header padding after RXD buffer. However, only RXD in the
first linear buffer, if we pull buffer size RXD-size+6 bytes with
skb_pull(), that would trigger "BUG_ON(skb->len < skb->data_len)" in
__skb_pull().
To avoid the nonlinear buffer issue, enlarge the RXD size from 128 to
256 to make sure all MCU operation in linear buffer.
