FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-48786 is a medium-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's vsock implementation. It arises when a vsock connection is interrupted by a signal, leading to the socket being improperly removed from the connected table, which can cause list corruption if a connection is retried. This local vulnerability (AV:L) has low attack complexity (AC:L) and requires low privileges (PR:L), with a potential impact of high availability loss (A:H). There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
