CVE-2022-49175

17
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-49175 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's power management core, specifically within the device_pm_check_callbacks() function. This flaw arises when the function, called under a spin lock, incorrectly uses spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() instead of irqsave/irqrestore, leading to a failure in preserving CPU flags. Rated as Medium severity (CVSS 5.5), it has a local attack vector with low complexity, potentially causing a high impact on availability (system crash) but no impact on confidentiality or integrity. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
