CVE-2022-50136

7.5 · HIGH
Published Jun 18, 2025 linux EPSS 0.53% (43th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-50136 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on June 18, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/siw: Fix duplicated reported IW_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REPLY event

If siw_recv_mpa_rr returns -EAGAIN, it means that the MPA reply hasn't

been received completely, and should not report IW_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REPLY

in this case. This may trigger a call trace in iw_cm. A simple way to

trigger this:

server: ib_send_lat

client: ib_send_lat -R <server_ip>

The call trace looks like this:

kernel BUG at drivers/infiniband/core/iwcm.c:894!

invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI

<...>

Workqueue: iw_cm_wq cm_work_handler [iw_cm]
