CVE-2022-2639 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade AlmaLinux:9 kernel-headers to version 0:5.14.0-162.6.1.el9_1 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALSA-2022:8267.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-headers package and not the kernel-headers package as distributed by AlmaLinux.
See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
An integer coercion error was found in the openvswitch kernel module. Given a sufficiently large number of actions, while copying and reserving memory for a new action of a new flow, the reserve_sfa_size() function does not return -EMSGSIZE as expected, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds write access. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
