CVE-2022-49444
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: module: fix [e_shstrndx].sh_size=0 OOB access It is trivial to craft a module to trigger OOB access in this line: if (info->secstrings[strhdr->sh_size - 1] != '\0') { BUG: unable to…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.29%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
