How to Fix CVE-2022-48673

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-2022-48673, 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.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-755: Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions, where the product does not handle or incorrectly handles an exceptional condition. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/smc: Fix possible access to freed memory in link clear After modifying the QP to the Error state, all RX WR would be completed with WC in IB_WC_WR_FLUSH_ERR status. Current implementation does not wait for it is done, but destroy the QP and free the link group directly. So there is a risk that accessing the freed memory in tasklet context. Here is a crash example: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff8f220860 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD f7300e067 P4D f7300e067 PUD f7300f063 PMD 8c4e45063 PTE 800ffff08c9df060 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Kdump: loaded Tainted: G S OE 5.10.0-0607+ #23 Hardware name: Inspur NF5280M4/YZMB-00689-101, BIOS 4.1.20 07/09/2018 RIP: 0010:native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x176/0x1b0 Code: f3 90 48 8b 32 48 85 f6 74 f6 eb d5 c1 ee 12 83 e0 03 83 ee 01 48 c1 e0 05 48 63 f6 48 05 00 c8 02 00 48 03 04 f5 00 09 98 8e <48> 89 10 8b 42 08 85 c0 75 09 f3 90 8b 42 08 85 c0 74 f7 48 8b 32 RSP: 0018:ffffb3b6c001ebd8 EFLAGS: 00010086 RAX: ffffffff8f220860 RBX: 0000000000000246 RCX: 0000000000080000 RDX: ffff91db1f86c800 RSI: 000000000000173c RDI: ffff91db62bace00 RBP: ffff91db62bacc00 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: c00000010000028b R10: 0000000000055198 R11: ffffb3b6c001ea58 R12: ffff91db80e05010 R13: 000000000000000a R14: 0000000000000006 R15: 0000000000000040 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff91db1f840000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffffffff8f220860 CR3: 00000001f9580004 CR4: 00000000003706e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: <IRQ> _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x30/0x40 mlx5_ib_poll_cq+0x4c/0xc50 [mlx5_ib] smc_wr_rx_tasklet_fn+0x56/0xa0 [smc] tasklet_action_common.isra.21+0x66/0x100 __do_softirq+0xd5/0x29c asm_call_irq_on_stack+0x12/0x20 </IRQ> do_softirq_own_stack+0x37/0x40 irq_exit_rcu+0x9d/0xa0 sysvec_call_function_single+0x34/0x80 asm_sysvec_call_function_single+0x12/0x20
