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-2022-50282 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-2022-50282/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50282/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50282","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50282/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50282","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50282","GHSA-3mx8-688w-x5vh","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50282"],"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 null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's chardev error handling can cause a system crash when device registration fails.","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-908","name":"Use of Uninitialized Resource"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nchardev: fix error handling in cdev_device_add()\n\nWhile doing fault injection test, I got the following report:\n\n------------[ cut here ]------------\nkobject: '(null)' (0000000039956980): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called.\nWARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 6306 at kobject_put+0x23d/0x4e0\nCPU: 3 PID: 6306 Comm: 283 Tainted: G        W          6.1.0-rc2-00005-g307c1086d7c9 #1253\nHardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.13.0-1ubuntu1.1 04/01/2014\nRIP: 0010:kobject_put+0x23d/0x4e0\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n cdev_device_add+0x15e/0x1b0\n __iio_device_register+0x13b4/0x1af0 [industrialio]\n __devm_iio_device_register+0x22/0x90 [industrialio]\n max517_probe+0x3d8/0x6b4 [max517]\n i2c_device_probe+0xa81/0xc00\n\nWhen device_add() is injected fault and returns error, if dev-\u003edevt is not set,\ncdev_add() is not called, cdev_del() is not needed.
