Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-49175

medium Nessus Plugin ID 225744

Language:

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.

 - PM: core: keep irq flags in device_pm_check_callbacks() The function device_pm_check_callbacks() can be called under the spin lock (in the reported case it happens from genpd_add_device() -> dev_pm_domain_set(), when the genpd uses spinlocks rather than mutexes. However this function uncoditionally uses spin_lock_irq() / spin_unlock_irq(), thus not preserving the CPU flags. Use the irqsave/irqrestore instead.
