CVE-2022-49770: ceph: avoid putting the realm twice when decoding snaps fails

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • 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: 0.58% (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 044bc6d3c2c0e9090b0841e7b723875756534b45, 274e4c79a3a2a24fba7cfe0e41113f1138785c37, 2f6e2de3a5289004650118b61f138fe7c28e1905.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 9.8, NVD 7.8.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 044bc6d3c2c0e9090b0841e7b723875756534b45, 274e4c79a3a2a24fba7cfe0e41113f1138785c37, 2f6e2de3a5289004650118b61f138fe7c28e1905 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: avoid putting the realm twice when decoding snaps fails When decoding the snaps fails it maybe leaving the 'first_realm' and 'realm' pointing to the same snaprealm memory. And then it'll put it twice and could cause random use-after-free, BUG_ON, etc issues.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

No history yet (it accumulates with the daily EPSS job).

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
