CVE-2022-49766 (GCVE-0-2022-49766)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-05-01 14:09 – Updated: 2025-05-04 08:44
VLAI?
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlink: Bounds-check struct nlmsgerr creation
In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE doing bounds-check on memcpy(),
switch from __nlmsg_put to nlmsg_put(), and explain the bounds check
for dealing with the memcpy() across a composite flexible array struct.
Avoids this future run-time warning:
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 32) of single field "&errmsg->msg" at net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2447 (size 16)
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
