CVE-2022-48851

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-48851 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's gdm724x staging driver, specifically within the gdm_lte_rx() function, affecting Linux kernel versions. It occurs because the netif_rx_ni() function frees a data buffer (skb) before its length can be saved, leading to an attempt to access freed memory. Rated 7.8 HIGH (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), this vulnerability allows a local, low-privileged attacker to achieve high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts with low attack complexity. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
