CVE-2022-49907
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mdio: fix undefined behavior in bit shift for __mdiobus_register Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing significant bit to unsigned.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.22%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
