CVE-2022-49903


In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: fix WARNING in ip6_route_net_exit_late() During the initialization of ip6_route_net_init_late(), if file ipv6_route or rt6_stats fails to be created, the initialization is successful by default. Therefore, the ipv6_route or rt6_stats file doesn't be found during the remove in ip6_route_net_exit_late(). It will cause WRNING. The following is the stack information: name 'rt6_stats' WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9 at fs/proc/generic.c:712 remove_proc_entry+0x389/0x460 Modules linked in: Workqueue: netns cleanup_net RIP: 0010:remove_proc_entry+0x389/0x460 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: <TASK> ops_exit_list+0xb0/0x170 cleanup_net+0x4ea/0xb00 process_one_work+0x9bf/0x1710 worker_thread+0x665/0x1080 kthread+0x2e4/0x3a0 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 </TASK>


Security Impact Summary

This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.5, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from linux organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.

Historical Context

Reported in 2025, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

How SecUtils Interprets This CVE

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For linux's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
