CVE-2022-48758

17
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-48758 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's bnx2fc driver, affecting systems utilizing Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). The flaw occurs when the bnx2fc_destroy() function removes the interface prematurely before flushing the destroy_work queue, leading to multiple warnings from sysfs_remove_group() due to early removal of controller rport device attributes. This issue has a CVSSv3.1 score of 5.5 (MEDIUM), indicating a local attack vector with low attack complexity, requiring low privileges, and resulting in high availability impact (system crash/denial of service). There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
