CVE-2022-40221 is listed as a vulnerability identifier assigned by Intel but is marked with a 'REJECTED' state in the CVE database. The absence of technical details, affected versions, patch links, or known exploits indicates that this entry does not represent an active or valid security vulnerability. The 'REJECTED' status typically means that after review, the CVE assignment was withdrawn because the issue was either not a security vulnerability, was a duplicate, or was otherwise invalid. Therefore, there is no concrete technical information or exploitability data available for this CVE. Without further details, it is not possible to provide a meaningful technical summary of the threat or its mechanisms.

Since CVE-2022-40221 has been rejected and lacks any technical or exploit information, it poses no known impact to any organizations, including those in Europe. There is no evidence of exploitation or vulnerability that could compromise confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems. Consequently, European organizations are not at risk from this CVE and do not need to consider it in their threat models or risk assessments.

Given that CVE-2022-40221 is a rejected CVE with no valid vulnerability associated, no specific mitigation actions are necessary. Organizations should continue to follow standard security best practices, including timely patching of confirmed vulnerabilities, network monitoring, and incident response preparedness. It is advisable to disregard this CVE in vulnerability management systems to avoid unnecessary resource allocation.
