Technical description

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

tracing: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context on RT kernel

When setting bootparams="trace_event=initcall:initcall_start tp_printk=1" in the

cmdline, the output_printk() was called, and the spin_lock_irqsave() was called in the

atomic and irq disable interrupt context suitation. On the PREEMPT_RT kernel,

these locks are replaced with sleepable rt-spinlock, so the stack calltrace will

be triggered.

Fix it by raw_spin_lock_irqsave when PREEMPT_RT and "trace_event=initcall:initcall_start

tp_printk=1" enabled.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2022-49322?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2022-49322 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
