CVE-2022-4378 is a stack-overflow vulnerability in the Linux kernel's SYSCTL subsystem involving do_proc_dointvec and proc_skip_spaces. A local user with access to affected SYSCTL parameters can trigger the flaw by supplying malformed input when changing kernel parameters. Exploitation can crash the system and may potentially enable local privilege escalation.
