CVE-2022-48666: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: core: Fix a use-after-free There are two .exit_cmd

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: core: Fix a use-after-free There are two .exit_cmd_priv implementations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: core: Fix a use-after-free There are two .exit_cmd_priv implementations. Both implementations use resources associated with the SCSI host. Make sure that these resources are still available when .exit_cmd_priv is called by waiting inside scsi_remove_host() until the tag set has been freed. This commit fixes the following use-after-free: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in srp_exit_cmd_priv+0x27/0xd0 [ib_srp] Read of size 8 at addr ffff888100337000 by task multipathd/16727 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x44 print_report.cold+0x5e/0x5db kasan_report+0xab/0x120 srp_exit_cmd_priv+0x27/0xd0 [ib_srp] scsi_mq_exit_request+0x4d/0x70 blk_mq_free_rqs+0x143/0x410 __blk_mq_free_map_and_rqs+0x6e/0x100 blk_mq_free_tag_set+0x2b/0x160 scsi_host_dev_release+0xf3/0x1a0 device_release+0x54/0xe0 kobject_put+0xa5/0x120 device_release+0x54/0xe0 kobject_put+0xa5/0x120 scsi_device_dev_release_usercontext+0x4c1/0x4e0 execute_in_process_context+0x23/0x90 device_release+0x54/0xe0 kobject_put+0xa5/0x120 scsi_disk_release+0x3f/0x50 device_releas

What it means for a small business

Linux is on the computers, phones or browsers your team uses every day. Turn on automatic updates and restart: most of these fixes only take effect after a restart.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.78%, higher than 56% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored November 11, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
