Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-49606

medium Nessus Plugin ID 227027

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: RDMA/irdma: Fix sleep from invalid context BUG Taking the qos_mutex to process RoCEv2 QP's on netdev events causes a kernel splat. Fix this by removing the handling for RoCEv2 in irdma_cm_teardown_connections that uses the mutex. This handling is only needed for iWARP to avoid having connections established while the link is down or having connections remain functional after the IP address is removed. BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.
