How to Fix CVE-2022-49229

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-2022-49229, 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 General Security Weakness. 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: ptp: unregister virtual clocks when unregistering physical clock. When unregistering a physical clock which has some virtual clocks, unregister the virtual clocks with it. This fixes the following oops, which can be triggered by unloading a driver providing a PTP clock when it has enabled virtual clocks: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc04fc4d8 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:ptp_vclock_read+0x31/0xb0 Call Trace: timecounter_read+0xf/0x50 ptp_vclock_refresh+0x2c/0x50 ? ptp_clock_release+0x40/0x40 ptp_aux_kworker+0x17/0x30 kthread_worker_fn+0x9b/0x240 ? kthread_should_park+0x30/0x30 kthread+0xe2/0x110 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30
