CVE-2022-25265

HIGH

7.8

CVSS v3

Description

In the Linux kernel through 5.16.10, certain binary files may have the exec-all attribute if they were built in approximately 2003 (e.g., with GCC 3.2.2 and Linux kernel 2.4.20). This can cause execution of bytes located in supposedly non-executable regions of a file.

Common questions

How do I fix CVE-2022-25265?

Published advisories record a fix for 98 affected products. The "How to fix" section on this page lists the fixed version and source advisory for each one, so apply the entry matching what you actually run.

Is CVE-2022-25265 being actively exploited?

Not that we know of. CVE-2022-25265 is not in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Its EPSS score of 1.1% is the estimated probability that it will be exploited in the next 30 days. That is higher than 62% of all scored CVEs.

How severe is CVE-2022-25265?

CVE-2022-25265 has a CVSS v3 base score of 7.8, rated high. CVSS rates the technical impact if the vulnerability is exploited, not how likely that is, so weigh it alongside the exploit-prediction score when you decide what to patch first.

What does CVE-2022-25265 affect?

Published advisories record a fix for bpftool (Red Hat / RHEL), bpftool (Rocky), bpftool-debuginfo (Rocky), bpftool-debuginfo (Red Hat / RHEL), and 94 more. Only products with a sourced advisory are listed, so treat this as what we can cite rather than a complete inventory.
