It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-50069 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50069/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50069/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50069","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50069/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50069","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50069","GHSA-737f-4c7f-cgc8","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50069"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with eBPF privileges can trigger a kernel crash by providing an invalid pointer to the bpf_sys_bpf helper, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nBPF: Fix potential bad pointer dereference in bpf_sys_bpf()\n\nThe bpf_sys_bpf() helper function allows an eBPF program to load another\neBPF program from within the kernel. In this case the argument union\nbpf_attr pointer (as well as the insns and license pointers inside) is a\nkernel address instead of a userspace address (which is the case of a\nusual bpf() syscall). To make the memory copying process in the syscall\nwork in both cases, bpfptr_t was introduced to wrap around the pointer\nand distinguish its origin. Specifically, when copying memory contents\nfrom a bpfptr_t, a copy_from_user() is performed in case of a userspace\naddress and a memcpy() is performed for a kernel address.\n\nThis can lead to problems because the in-kernel pointer is never checked\nfor validity. The problem happens when an eBPF syscall program tries to\ncall bpf_sys_bpf() to load a program but provides a bad insns pointer --\nsay 0xdeadbeef -- in the bpf_attr union. The helper calls __sys_bpf()\nwhich would then call bpf_prog_load() to load the program.\nbpf_prog_load() is responsible for copying the eBPF instructions to the\nnewly allocated memory for the program; it creates a kernel bpfptr_t for\ninsns and invokes copy_from_bpfptr(). Internally, all bpfptr_t\noperations are backed by the corresponding sockptr_t operations, which\nperforms direct memcpy() on kernel pointers for copy_from/strncpy_from\noperations. Therefore, the code is always happy to dereference the bad\npointer to trigger a un-handle-able page fault and in turn an oops.\nHowever, this is not supposed to happen because at that point the eBPF\nprogram is already verified and should not cause a memory error.\n\nSample KASAN trace:\n\n[   25.685056][  T228] ==================================================================\n[   25.685680][  T228] BUG: KASAN: user-memory-access in copy_from_bpfptr+0x21/0x30\n[   25.686210][  T228] Read of size 80 at addr 00000000deadbeef by task poc/228\n[   25.686732][  T228]\n[   25.686893][  T228] CPU: 3 PID: 228 Comm: poc Not tainted 5.19.0-rc7 #7\n[   25.687375][  T228] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS d55cb5a 04/01/2014\n[   25.687991][  T228] Call Trace:\n[   25.688223][  T228]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[   25.688429][  T228]  dump_stack_lvl+0x73/0x9e\n[   25.688747][  T228]  print_report+0xea/0x200\n[   25.689061][  T228]  ?
