CVE-2022-49692

Disclosure Date: February 26, 2025
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: phy: at803x: fix NULL pointer dereference on AR9331 PHY

Latest kernel will explode on the PHY interrupt config, since it depends
now on allocated priv. So, run probe to allocate priv to fix it.

ar9331_switch ethernet.1:10 lan0 (uninitialized): PHY [!ahb!ethernet@1a000000!mdio!switch@10:00] driver Qualcomm Atheros AR9331 built-in PHY
CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000a, epc == 8050e8a8, ra == 80504b34

     ...

Same Issue would affect some other PHYs (QCA8081, QCA9561), so fix it
too.
