Vulnerability Details : CVE-2022-2639
Potential exploit
An integer coercion error was found in the openvswitch kernel module. Given a sufficiently large number of actions, while copying and reserving memory for a new action of a new flow, the reserve_sfa_size() function does not return -EMSGSIZE as expected, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds write access. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

CWE ids for CVE-2022-2639
-
The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result.Assigned by: nvd@nist.gov (Primary)
-
Integer coercion refers to a set of flaws pertaining to the type casting, extension, or truncation of primitive data types.Assigned by: secalert@redhat.com (Secondary)
-
When converting from one data type to another, such as long to integer, data can be omitted or translated in a way that produces unexpected values. If the resulting values are used in a sensitive context, then dangerous behaviors may occur.Assigned by: nvd@nist.gov (Primary)
-
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.Assigned by:
- nvd@nist.gov (Primary)
