CVE-2022-49634

MediumCVSS 4.7/10Last modified Jun 17, 2026

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sysctl: Fix data-races in proc_dou8vec_minmax().

A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance of data-race. So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to avoid load/store-tearing.

This patch changes proc_dou8vec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. For now, proc_dou8vec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.
