17
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-48703 is a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Linux kernel's int340x_thermal driver, affecting Linux kernel versions. It occurs when the GDDV returns a zero-length buffer, causing kmemdup() to return ZERO_SIZE_PTR (0x10), which is then dereferenced. Rated as Medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this local attack (AV:L) requires low privileges (PR:L) and can lead to high availability impact (A:H), potentially causing system crashes. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
