CVE-2022-49748: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/x86/amd: fix potential integer overflow on shift of a int The left shift of int 32 bit integer constant 1 is evaluated using 32 bit arithmetic and then passed as a 64 bit function argument. In the case where i is 32 or more this can lead to an overflow. Avoid this by shifting using the BIT_ULL macro instead.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 5.4.22, before 5.4.231 (fixed in 5.4.231); from 5.5.6, before 5.10.166 (fixed in 5.10.166); from 5.11, before 5.15.91 (fixed in 5.15.91); from 5.16, before 6.1.9 (fixed in 6.1.9); version 6.2 only
