CVE-2022-2639
Vulnerability Summary
Timeline
Description
An integer coercion error was found in the openvswitch kernel module. Given a sufficiently large number of actions, while copying and reserving memory for a new action of a new flow, the reserve_sfa_size() function does not return -EMSGSIZE as expected, potentially leading to an out-of-bounds write access. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

Techniques & Countermeasures
- CWE-192•Integer Coercion Error
Integer coercion refers to a set of flaws pertaining to the type casting, extension, or truncation of primitive data types.
- CWE-681•Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types
When converting from one data type to another, such as long to integer, data can be omitted or translated in a way that produces unexpected values. If the resulting values are used in a sensitive context, then dangerous behaviors may occur.
