CVE-2022-49202

Status: AnalyzedMedium (5.5)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Bluetooth: hci_uart: add missing NULL check in h5_enqueue

Syzbot hit general protection fault in __pm_runtime_resume(). The problem was in missing NULL check.

hu->serdev can be NULL and we should not blindly pass &serdev->dev somewhere, since it will cause GPF.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
