Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in the device-mapper-multipath. The device-mapper-multipath allows local users to obtain root access, exploited alone or in conjunction with CVE-2022-41973. Local users that are able to write to UNIX domain sockets can bypass access controls and manipulate the multipath setup. This issue occurs because an attacker can repeat a keyword, which is mishandled when arithmetic ADD is used instead of bitwise OR. This could lead to local privilege escalation to root.

Description Tomas Hoger 2022-10-31 19:06:00 UTC 
The device-mapper-multipath flaw CVE-2022-41974 (bug 2133988) 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:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:7192
https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:7185

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 CVE-2022-3787 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.
