CVE-2022-49133 (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:
drm/amdkfd: svm range restore work deadlock when process exit
kfd_process_notifier_release flush svm_range_restore_work
which calls svm_range_list_lock_and_flush_work to flush deferred_list
work, but if deferred_list work mmput release the last user, it will
call exit_mmap -> notifier_release, it is deadlock with below backtrace.
Move flush svm_range_restore_work to kfd_process_wq_release to avoid
deadlock. Then svm_range_restore_work take task->mm ref to avoid mm is
gone while validating and mapping ranges to GPU.
