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-2022-50381 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-2022-50381/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50381/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50381","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50381/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50381","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50381","GHSA-qr3p-w2mh-mg9q","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50381"],"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 race condition in the Linux kernel's md driver causes a crash when freeing memory pools, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","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\nmd: fix a crash in mempool_free\n\nThere's a crash in mempool_free when running the lvm test\nshell/lvchange-rebuild-raid.sh.\n\nThe reason for the crash is this:\n* super_written calls atomic_dec_and_test(\u0026mddev-\u003epending_writes) and\n  wake_up(\u0026mddev-\u003esb_wait). Then it calls rdev_dec_pending(rdev, mddev)\n  and bio_put(bio).\n* so, the process that waited on sb_wait and that is woken up is racing\n  with bio_put(bio).\n* if the process wins the race, it calls bioset_exit before bio_put(bio)\n  is executed.\n* bio_put(bio) attempts to free a bio into a destroyed bio set - causing\n  a crash in mempool_free.\n\nWe fix this bug by moving bio_put before atomic_dec_and_test.\n\nWe also move rdev_dec_pending before atomic_dec_and_test as suggested by\nNeil Brown.\n\nThe function md_end_flush has a similar bug - we must call bio_put before\nwe decrement the number of in-progress bios.\n\n BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\n #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode\n #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page\n PGD 11557f0067 P4D 11557f0067 PUD 0\n Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP\n CPU: 0 PID: 73 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 6.1.0-rc3 #5\n Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.14.0-2 04/01/2014\n Workqueue: kdelayd flush_expired_bios [dm_delay]\n RIP: 0010:mempool_free+0x47/0x80\n Code: 48 89 ef 5b 5d ff e0 f3 c3 48 89 f7 e8 32 45 3f 00 48 63 53 08 48 89 c6 3b 53 04 7d 2d 48 8b 43 10 8d 4a 01 48 89 df 89 4b 08 \u003c48\u003e 89 2c d0 e8 b0 45 3f 00 48 8d 7b 30 5b 5d 31 c9 ba 01 00 00 00\n RSP: 0018:ffff88910036bda8 EFLAGS: 00010093\n RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8891037b65d8 RCX: 0000000000000001\n RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000202 RDI: ffff8891037b65d8\n RBP: ffff8891447ba240 R08: 0000000000012908 R09: 00000000003d0900\n R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000173544 R12: ffff889101a14000\n R13: ffff8891562ac300 R14: ffff889102b41440 R15: ffffe8ffffa00d05\n FS:  0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88942fa00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 0000001102e99000 CR4: 00000000000006b0\n Call Trace:\n  \u003cTASK\u003e\n  clone_endio+0xf4/0x1c0 [dm_mod]\n  clone_endio+0xf4/0x1c0 [dm_mod]\n  __submit_bio+0x76/0x120\n  submit_bio_noacct_nocheck+0xb6/0x2a0\n  flush_expired_bios+0x28/0x2f [dm_delay]\n  process_one_work+0x1b4/0x300\n  worker_thread+0x45/0x3e0\n  ?
