NULL Pointer Dereference Affecting kernel package, versions *
Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

CVE-2022-48781 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: af_alg - get rid of alg_memory_allocated
alg_memory_allocated does not seem to be really used.
alg_proto does have a .memory_allocated field, but no corresponding .sysctl_mem.
This means sk_has_account() returns true, but all sk_prot_mem_limits() users will trigger a NULL dereference [1].
THis was not a problem until SO_RESERVE_MEM addition.
