CVE-2022-30594

26
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-30594 is a Linux kernel vulnerability (before version 5.17.2) affecting Debian and NetApp products, where mishandling of seccomp permissions in the PTRACE_SEIZE code path allows attackers to bypass restrictions on the PT_SUSPEND_SECCOMP flag. This high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.8) has a low attack complexity and requires local privileges, potentially leading to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, with its EPSS score indicating a very low probability of exploitation.
