CVE-2022-50360

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Sep 17, 2025 linux EPSS 0.18% (7th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-50360 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on September 17, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

drm/msm/dp: fix aux-bus EP lifetime

Device-managed resources allocated post component bind must be tied to

the lifetime of the aggregate DRM device or they will not necessarily be

released when binding of the aggregate device is deferred.

This can lead resource leaks or failure to bind the aggregate device

when binding is later retried and a second attempt to allocate the

resources is made.

For the DP aux-bus, an attempt to populate the bus a second time will

simply fail ("DP AUX EP device already populated").

Fix this by tying the lifetime of the EP device to the DRM device rather

than DP controller platform device.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
