But please note, there was a worthwhile discussion\non what ATA_TAG_INTERNAL and ATA_MAX_QUEUE is. And why there should not\nbe a \"fake\" 33 command-long queue size.\n\nIdeally, the dw driver should account for the ATA_TAG_INTERNAL.\nIn Damien Le Moal's words: \"... having looked at the driver, it\nis a bigger change than just faking a 33rd \"tag\" that is in fact\nnot a command tag at all.\"\n\nBugLink: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/9505","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-787"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/234c0132f76f0676d175757f61b0025191a3d935","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3a8751c0d4e24129e72dcec0139e99833b13904a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/55e1465ba79562a191708a40eeae3f8082a209e3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/596c7efd69aae94f4b0e91172b075eb197958b99","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7aa8104a554713b685db729e66511b93d989dd6a"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:59:48.811064707+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-49073","score":0.00277,"percentile":0.20127,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
