Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-49515)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2022-49515). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 5.17.14, 5.18.3 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

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

ASoC: cs35l41: Fix an out-of-bounds access in otp_packed_element_t

The CS35L41_NUM_OTP_ELEM is 100, but only 99 entries are defined in
the array otp_map_1/2[CS35L41_NUM_OTP_ELEM], this will trigger UBSAN
to report a shift-out-of-bounds warning in the cs35l41_otp_unpack()
since the last entry in the array will result in GENMASK(-1, 0).

UBSAN reports this problem:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in /home/hwang4/build/jammy/jammy/sound/soc/codecs/cs35l41-lib.c:836:8
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int'
CPU: 10 PID: 595 Comm: systemd-udevd Not tainted 5.15.0-23-generic #23
Hardware name: LENOVO \x02MFG_IN_GO/\x02MFG_IN_GO, BIOS N3GET19W (1.00 ) 03/11/2022

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 5.17.14, 5.18.3
```
ステージング環境で 5.17.14, 5.18.3 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。
