CVE-2022-49686: linux kernel vulnerability

What is known

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: uvc: fix list double add in uvcg_video_pump A panic can occur if the endpoint becomes disabled and the uvcg_video_pump adds the request back to the req_free list after it has already been queued to the endpoint. The endpoint complete will add the request back to the req_free list. Invalidate the local request handle once it's been queued. <6>[ 246.796704][T13726] configfs-gadget gadget: uvc: uvc_function_set_alt(1, 0) <3>[ 246.797078][ T26] list_add double add: new=ffffff878bee5c40, prev=ffffff878bee5c40, next=ffffff878b0f0a90. <6>[ 246.797213][ T26] ------------[ cut here ]------------ <2>[ 246.797224][ T26] kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:31! <6>[ 246.807073][ T26] Call trace: <6>[ 246.807180][ T26] uvcg_video_pump+0x364/0x38c <6>[ 246.807366][ T26] process_one_work+0x2a4/0x544 <6>[ 246.807394][ T26] worker_thread+0x350/0x784 <6>[ 246.807442][ T26] kthread+0x2ac/0x320

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2022-49686, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.8) 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.
