CVE-2022-48933 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for Centos:8 kernel-rt-selftests-internal.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-selftests-internal package and not the kernel-rt-selftests-internal package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: fix memory leak during stateful obj update
stateful objects can be updated from the control plane. The transaction logic allocates a temporary object for this purpose.
The ->init function was called for this object, so plain kfree() leaks resources. We must call ->destroy function of the object.
nft_obj_destroy does this, but it also decrements the module refcount, but the update path doesn't increment it.
To avoid special-casing the update object release, do module_get for the update case too and release it via nft_obj_destroy().
