Description Gandhimathy 2023-04-13 09:42:42 UTC

Description of problem:
CVE-2022-25147 is marked with CVSS score 9.8, whereas RHEL is marked it as "Moderate".  

The information provided here - https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2022-25147, mentions that the impact is reported as 'Moderate'.  

It is very important for us to understand "why it is marked as Moderate ?"

The reason behind considering it as "Moderate" will help in responding to our customer.

Looking for RHEL team to provide the reason why it is marked as "Moderate" for this high CVSS Score.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching via RH Bugzilla. For questions related to Red Hat CVE pages, I'd suggest you to reach via secalert, which would be easier for us to work on your ticket and maintain the response.
In summary, Red Hat Impact does not follow the CVSS score, although they should correlate sometimes, it's not the standard. In common sense, it's expected to be a higher impact when the CVSS is higher. Please, check more about how it normally is by accessing this link[1]. For this one specifically, it was reported by Apache and you can check more on [2] this link is found under external references in Customer Portal. 

When there's a normal expectation divergence similar to this case there should, in most cases, contain a statement explaining the reasons about it. In this case, it was decided to follow Apache's rating as they're the reporting CNA for this CVE. 

Have a good day.
Patrick

This vulnerability has now been reassessed as Important impact by Red Hat Product Security - we will be proceeding with errata work.

As Patrick suggests please contact ProdSec or Red Hat Support directly if you have queries about CVE rating or errata. You can track further updates via the vulnerability tracker at bug 2169652.
