The device-mapper-multipath flaw <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-41974">CVE-2022-41974</a> (<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_CLOSED bz_closed bz_public " title="CLOSED ERRATA - CVE-2022-41974 device-mapper-multipath: Authorization bypass, multipathd daemon listens for client connections on an abstract Unix socket" href="show_bug.cgi?id=2133988">bug 2133988</a>) was addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 via erratum RHSA-2022:7192 and in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 via erratum RHSA-2022:7185, released on Oct 25, 2022: <a href="https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:7192">https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:7192</a> <a href="https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:7185">https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:7185</a> However, the fix for this issue was not included in the device-mapper-multipath updates released as part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.7 (RHBA-2022:7714) and 9.1 (RHBA-2022:8313), causing a security regression of previously released fix. A new CVE id <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2022-3787">CVE-2022-3787</a> was assigned for this security regression. Note that this issue and CVE id is specific to the device-mapper-multipath packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and is not applicable to any upstream device-mapper-multipath version or device-mapper-multipath packages of any other vendor that are not directly based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux packages.
