CVE-2022-49258
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccree - Fix use after free in cc_cipher_exit()
kfree_sensitive(ctx_p->user.key) will free the ctx_p->user.key. But ctx_p->user.key is still used in the next line, which will lead to a use after free.
We can call kfree_sensitive() after dev_dbg() to avoid the uaf.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.27%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 17
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 %
Vulnerabilidad local (AV:L) sin interacción (UI:N) con privilegios requeridos (PR:L) que causa use-after-free en el kernel, permitiendo escalada de privilegios y ejecución de código arbitrario en contexto privilegiado.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
