17
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-49841 is a medium-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel affecting the serial imx driver. It stems from a missing .thaw_noirq hook, leading to an unbalanced clock disable call during system hibernation and causing a kernel warning. An attacker with local access (AV:L, PR:L) could potentially exploit this with low complexity (AC:L) to cause a denial of service (A:H) by triggering the kernel warning. There is no known active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
