CVE-2022-48654: netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix possible bogus match in nf_osf_find()

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.24% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 559c36c5a8d730c49ef805a72b213d3bba155cc8, 5d75fef3e61e797fab5c3fbba88caa74ab92ad47, 633c81c0449663f57d4138326d036dc6cfad674e.
  • Mentioned 2 times in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 559c36c5a8d730c49ef805a72b213d3bba155cc8, 5d75fef3e61e797fab5c3fbba88caa74ab92ad47, 633c81c0449663f57d4138326d036dc6cfad674e or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix possible bogus match in nf_osf_find() nf_osf_find() incorrectly returns true on mismatch, this leads to copying uninitialized memory area in nft_osf which can be used to leak stale kernel stack data to userspace.
