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-2022-50451 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-2022-50451/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50451/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50451","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50451/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50451","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50451","GHSA-hfqr-838f-pj36","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2022-50451","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50451"],"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 memory leak in the Linux kernel NTFS3 driver allows local attackers to cause resource exhaustion and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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-401","name":"Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfs/ntfs3: Fix memory leak on ntfs_fill_super() error path\n\nsyzbot reported kmemleak as below:\n\nBUG: memory leak\nunreferenced object 0xffff8880122f1540 (size 32):\n  comm \"a.out\", pid 6664, jiffies 4294939771 (age 25.500s)\n  hex dump (first 32 bytes):\n    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................\n    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ed ff ed ff 00 00 00 00  ................\n  backtrace:\n    [\u003cffffffff81b16052\u003e] ntfs_init_fs_context+0x22/0x1c0\n    [\u003cffffffff8164aaa7\u003e] alloc_fs_context+0x217/0x430\n    [\u003cffffffff81626dd4\u003e] path_mount+0x704/0x1080\n    [\u003cffffffff81627e7c\u003e] __x64_sys_mount+0x18c/0x1d0\n    [\u003cffffffff84593e14\u003e] do_syscall_64+0x34/0xb0\n    [\u003cffffffff84600087\u003e] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd\n\nThis patch fixes this issue by freeing mount options on error path of\nntfs_fill_super().","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"fs/ntfs3: Fix memory leak on ntfs_fill_super() error path","id":"CVE-2022-50451","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"net: sched: cake: fix null pointer access issue when cake_init() fails","id":"CVE-2022-50452"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.","id":"CVE-2022-50450"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-10-01","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel NTFS3 driver allows local attackers to cause resource exhaustion and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50451/"}
