Overview

CVE-2022-49129 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on February 26, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mt76: mt7921: fix crash when startup fails.

If the nic fails to start, it is possible that the

reset_work has already been scheduled. Ensure the

work item is canceled so we do not have use-after-free

crash in case cleanup is called before the work item

is executed.

This fixes crash on my x86_64 apu2 when mt7921k radio

fails to work. Radio still fails, but OS does not

crash.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
