Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-49204)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-49204). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.4.189, 5.10.110, 5.15.33, 5.16.19, 5.17.2 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

bpf, sockmap: Fix more uncharged while msg has more_data

In tcp_bpf_send_verdict(), if msg has more data after
tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir():

tcp_bpf_send_verdict()
tosend = msg->sg.size //msg->sg.size = 22220
case __SK_REDIRECT:
sk_msg_return() //uncharged msg->sg.size(22220) sk->sk_forward_alloc
tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir() //after tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir, msg->sg.size=11000
goto more_data;
tosend = msg->sg.size //msg->sg.size = 11000
case __SK_REDIRECT:
sk_msg_return() //uncharged msg->sg.size(11000) to sk->sk_forward_alloc

The msg->sg.size(11000) has been uncharged twice, to fix we can charge the
remaining msg->sg.size before goto more data.

This issue can cause the following info:

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 5.4.189, 5.10.110, 5.15.33, 5.16.19, 5.17.2.

🛡️ 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 5.4.189, 5.10.110, 5.15.33, 5.16.19, 5.17.2
```
ステージング環境で 5.4.189, 5.10.110, 5.15.33, 5.16.19, 5.17.2 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。
