In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix wild-memory-access in register_synth_event() In register_synth_event(), if set_synth_event_print_fmt() failed, then both trace_remove_event_call() and unregister_trace_event() will be called, which means the trace_event_call will call __unregister_trace_event() twice. As the result, the second unregister will causes the wild-memory-access. register_synth_event set_synth_event_print_fmt failed trace_remove_event_call event_remove if call->event.funcs then __unregister_trace_event (first call) unregister_trace_event

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2022-49799 is a none public vulnerability record for Linux Linux. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether Linux Linux is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: Linux Linux 4b147936fa509650beaf638b331573c23ba4d609 <315b149f08229a233d47532eb5da1707b28f764c (4b147936fa509650beaf638b331573c23ba4d609 <315b149f08229a233d47532eb5da1707b28f764c). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.
