What is known
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 Call Trace: <TASK> show_stack+0x52/0x58 dump_stack_lvl+0x4a/0x5f dump_stack+0x10/0x12 ubsan_epilogue+0x9/0x45 __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds.cold+0x61/0xef ? regmap_unlock_mutex+0xe/0x10 cs35l41_otp_unpack.cold+0x1c6/0x2b2 [snd_soc_cs35l41_lib] cs35l41_hda_probe+0x24f/0x33a [snd_hda_scodec_cs35l41] cs35l41_hda_i2c_probe+0x65/0x90 [snd_hda_scodec_cs35l41_i2c] ? cs35l41_hda_i2c_remove+0x20/0x20 [snd_hda_scodec_cs35l41_i2c] i2c_device_probe+0x252/0x2b0
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2022-49515, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.1) 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.
