Actualmente, el tipo de destino de decl_tag puede ser struct/union, var o func. Tanto struct/union como var implementaron sus propias funciones de devoluci\u00f3n de llamada 'resolve' y, por lo tanto, se manejan correctamente en el kernel. Pero el tipo func no tiene la funci\u00f3n de devoluci\u00f3n de llamada 'resolve'. Cuando btf_decl_tag_resolve() intenta verificar el tipo func, intenta obtener vlen de su tipo func_proto, lo que activ\u00f3 el error kasan anterior. Para solucionar el problema, btf_decl_tag_resolve() debe ejecutar btf_func_check() antes de intentar acceder al tipo func_proto. En la implementaci\u00f3n actual, el tipo func se verifica con btf_func_check() en la funci\u00f3n de verificaci\u00f3n principal btf_check_all_types(). Para solucionar el problema de kasan anterior, implementemos la devoluci\u00f3n de llamada 'resolve' para el tipo func de manera adecuada. La devoluci\u00f3n de llamada 'resolve' tambi\u00e9n se llamar\u00e1 en btf_check_all_types() para los tipos func."}], "id": "CVE-2022-49228", "lastModified": "2026-06-17T05:17:26.820", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}, "published": "2025-02-26T07:00:59.840", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/796d5666f6422ddadc938fb888044fcc16f2dbe3"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a3bcd2110c087bc62e90fddd4a93237b049d6e68"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d7e7b42f4f956f2c68ad8cda87d750093dbba737"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Analyzed", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-476"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
