CVE-2022-50059: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: don't leak snap_rwsem in handle_cap_grant When handle_cap_grant is called on an IMPORT op, then the snap_rwsem is held and the function is expected to release it before returning. It currently fails to do that in all cases which could lead to a deadlock.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 5.8, before 5.10.138 (fixed in 5.10.138); from 5.11, before 5.15.63 (fixed in 5.15.63); from 5.16, before 5.19.4 (fixed in 5.19.4)
