CVE-2022-49259
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: don't delete queue kobject before its children kobjects aren't supposed to be deleted before their child kobjects are deleted. Apparently this is usually benign; however, a WARN will be triggered if one of the child kobjects has a named attribute group: sysfs group 'modes' not found for kobject 'crypto' WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at fs/sysfs/group.c:278 sysfs_remove_group+0x72/0x80 ... Call Trace: sysfs_remove_groups+0x29/0x40 fs/sysfs/group.c:312 __kobject_del+0x20/0x80 lib/kobject.c:611 kobject_cleanup+0xa4/0x140 lib/kobject.c:696 kobject_release lib/kobject.c:736 [inline] kref_put include/linux/kref.h:65 [inline] kobject_put+0x53/0x70 lib/kobject.c:753 blk_crypto_sysfs_unregister+0x10/0x20 block/blk-crypto-sysfs.c:159 blk_unregister_queue+0xb0/0x110 block/blk-sysfs.c:962 del_gendisk+0x117/0x250 block/genhd.c:610 Fix this by moving the kobject_del() and the corresponding kobject_uevent() to the correct place.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
