5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2022-49229
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptp: unregister virtual clocks when unregistering physical clock.
When unregistering a physical clock which has some virtual clocks,
unregister the virtual clocks with it.
This fixes the following oops, which can be triggered by unloading
a driver providing a PTP clock when it has enabled virtual clocks:
