What is known
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Fix drain SQ hang with no completion SW generated completions for outstanding WRs posted on SQ after QP is in error target the wrong CQ. This causes the ib_drain_sq to hang with no completion. Fix this to generate completions on the right CQ. [ 863.969340] INFO: task kworker/u52:2:671 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2022-48694, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) affecting linux kernel, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether linux kernel is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
