New CVE-2022-48939 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-core.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-core package and not the kernel-core package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Add schedule points in batch ops
syzbot reported various soft lockups caused by bpf batch operations.
INFO: task kworker/1:1:27 blocked for more than 140 seconds. INFO: task hung in rcu_barrier
Nothing prevents batch ops to process huge amount of data, we need to add schedule points in them.
Note that maybe_wait_bpf_programs(map) calls from generic_map_delete_batch() can be factorized by moving the call after the loop.
This will be done later in -next tree once we get this fix merged, unless there is strong opinion doing this optimization sooner.
