CVE-2022-49204 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on February 26, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. 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:

bpf, sockmap: Fix more uncharged while msg has more_data

In tcp_bpf_send_verdict(), if msg has more data after

tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir():

tcp_bpf_send_verdict()

tosend = msg->sg.size //msg->sg.size = 22220

case __SK_REDIRECT:

sk_msg_return() //uncharged msg->sg.size(22220) sk->sk_forward_alloc

tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir() //after tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir, msg->sg.size=11000

goto more_data;

tosend = msg->sg.size //msg->sg.size = 11000

case __SK_REDIRECT:

sk_msg_return() //uncharged msg->sg.size(11000) to sk->sk_forward_alloc

The msg->sg.size(11000) has been uncharged twice, to fix we can charge the

remaining msg->sg.size before goto more data.

This issue can cause the following info:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9860 at net/core/stream.c:208 sk_stream_kill_queues+0xd4/0x1a0
