CVE-2022-48854 (GCVE-0-2022-48854)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-07-16 12:25 – Updated: 2025-05-04 08:24
VLAI?
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: arc_emac: Fix use after free in arc_mdio_probe() If bus->state is equal to MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED, mdiobus_free(bus) will free the "bus". But bus->name is still used in the next line, which will lead to a use after free. We can fix it by putting the name in a local variable and make the bus->name point to the rodata section "name",then use the name in the error message without referring to bus to avoid the uaf.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
