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-2022-50388 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-2022-50388/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50388/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50388","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50388/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50388","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50388","GHSA-m224-9cff-885m","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50388"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel NVMe","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel NVMe driver causes a system crash when blktrace is enabled during multipath flush requests.","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":"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\nnvme: fix multipath crash caused by flush request when blktrace is enabled\n\nThe flush request initialized by blk_kick_flush has NULL bio,\nand it may be dealt with nvme_end_req during io completion.\nWhen blktrace is enabled, nvme_trace_bio_complete with multipath\nactivated trying to access NULL pointer bio from flush request\nresults in the following crash:\n\n[ 2517.831677] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000001a\n[ 2517.835213] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode\n[ 2517.838724] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page\n[ 2517.842222] PGD 7b2d51067 P4D 0\n[ 2517.845684] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI\n[ 2517.849125] CPU: 2 PID: 732 Comm: kworker/2:1H Kdump: loaded Tainted: G S                5.15.67-0.cl9.x86_64 #1\n[ 2517.852723] Hardware name: XFUSION 2288H V6/BC13MBSBC, BIOS 1.13 07/27/2022\n[ 2517.856358] Workqueue: nvme_tcp_wq nvme_tcp_io_work [nvme_tcp]\n[ 2517.859993] RIP: 0010:blk_add_trace_bio_complete+0x6/0x30\n[ 2517.863628] Code: 1f 44 00 00 48 8b 46 08 31 c9 ba 04 00 10 00 48 8b 80 50 03 00 00 48 8b 78 50 e9 e5 fe ff ff 0f 1f 44 00 00 41 54 49 89 f4 55 \u003c0f\u003e b6 7a 1a 48 89 d5 e8 3e 1c 2b 00 48 89 ee 4c 89 e7 5d 89 c1 ba\n[ 2517.871269] RSP: 0018:ff7f6a008d9dbcd0 EFLAGS: 00010286\n[ 2517.875081] RAX: ff3d5b4be00b1d50 RBX: 0000000002040002 RCX: ff3d5b0a270f2000\n[ 2517.878966] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ff3d5b0b021fb9f8 RDI: 0000000000000000\n[ 2517.882849] RBP: ff3d5b0b96a6fa00 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000\n[ 2517.886718] R10: 000000000000000c R11: 000000000000000c R12: ff3d5b0b021fb9f8\n[ 2517.890575] R13: 0000000002000000 R14: ff3d5b0b021fb1b0 R15: 0000000000000018\n[ 2517.894434] FS:  0000000000000000(0000) GS:ff3d5b42bfc80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000\n[ 2517.898299] CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\n[ 2517.902157] CR2: 000000000000001a CR3: 00000004f023e005 CR4: 0000000000771ee0\n[ 2517.906053] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000\n[ 2517.909930] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400\n[ 2517.913761] PKRU: 55555554\n[ 2517.917558] Call Trace:\n[ 2517.921294]  \u003cTASK\u003e\n[ 2517.924982]  nvme_complete_rq+0x1c3/0x1e0 [nvme_core]\n[ 2517.928715]  nvme_tcp_recv_pdu+0x4d7/0x540 [nvme_tcp]\n[ 2517.932442]  nvme_tcp_recv_skb+0x4f/0x240 [nvme_tcp]\n[ 2517.936137]  ?
