Overview

CVE-2022-49163 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on February 26, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, 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:

media: imx-jpeg: fix a bug of accessing array out of bounds

When error occurs in parsing jpeg, the slot isn't acquired yet, it may

be the default value MXC_MAX_SLOTS.

If the driver access the slot using the incorrect slot number, it will

access array out of bounds.

The result is the driver will change num_domains, which follows

slot_data in struct mxc_jpeg_dev.

Then the driver won't detach the pm domain at rmmod, which will lead to

kernel panic when trying to insmod again.

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.
