Hence, modules cannot\nuse symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up\nwith kernel panic.\n\nmodpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.\n\nRecently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this\nshowed up in linux-next builds.\n\nThere are two ways to fix it:\n\n  - Remove __init\n  - Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL\n\nI chose the latter for this case because the caller (net/ipv6/seg6.c)\nand the callee (net/ipv6/seg6_hmac.c) belong to the same module.\nIt seems an internal function call in ipv6.ko.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1084716f76c8045eadf92a9d9a62641f3c8d8c90","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/317260b3eb6384a05a8af212308fa50f3b2e8290","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e6de5037148c5a93a436b1e8d2edad3dac11755","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5801f064e35181c71857a80ff18af4dbec3c5f5c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d9c1b081ad28c852a97e10dd75412546497694a"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:59:48.811064707+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-49339","score":0.00277,"percentile":0.20147,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
