CVE-2022-48644

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Time-Aware Priority Shaper (taprio) scheduler. The issue arises because the taprio scheduler attempts to disable hardware offload, even if it was never enabled, due to an unusual API design. This issue can result in improper handling and potential system instability.

The vulnerability has a CVSS v3 score of 6.1, reflecting the potential for local attackers to exploit and impact system availability. However, confidentiality and integrity are less affected by this issue. The vulnerability was resolved by modifying the kernel to ensure offload disabling only occurs when it was actually enabled.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.
