CVE-2022-49395 is an out-of-bounds stack-read vulnerability in the User-Mode Linux (UML) Local Descriptor Table (LDT) setup path. The flaw is caused by a unit mismatch in the call to syscall_stub_data(): the function interprets data_count as a count of long values, while the caller supplies a byte count. Consequently, syscall_stub_data() copies more data than is present in the local descriptor object during LDT initialization. KASAN observed a 128-byte read extending beyond the desc stack object along the syscall_stub_data(), write_ldt_entry(), and init_new_ldt() execution path.
