How to Fix CVE-2022-49543

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2022-49543, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Commit 8e0559921f9a ("bus: mhi: core: Skip device wake in error or shutdown state") add check for the pm_state of mhi in __mhi_device_get_sync(), and the pm_state is not the normal state untill recovery is completed, so it leads the dev_wake is not 0 and above warning print in mhi_pm_disable_transition() while checking mhi_cntrl->dev_wake. Add check in ath11k_pci_write32()/ath11k_pci_read32() to skip call mhi_device_put() if mhi_device_get_sync() does not really do wake, then the warning gone.
