Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-49458

medium Nessus Plugin ID 225752

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm: don't free the IRQ if it was not requested As msm_drm_uninit() is called from the msm_drm_init() error path, additional care should be necessary as not to call the free_irq() for the IRQ that was not requested before (because an error occured earlier than the request_irq() call). This fixed the issue reported with the following backtrace:
