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-2022-50468 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-2022-50468/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50468/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50468","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50468/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50468","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50468","GHSA-2vhg-gx88-7mc7","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50468"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing error check in the ChromeOS USBPD notify driver causes a kernel warning and potential instability when unloading the module.","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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nplatform/chrome: cros_usbpd_notify: Fix error handling in cros_usbpd_notify_init()\n\nThe following WARNING message was given when rmmod cros_usbpd_notify:\n\n Unexpected driver unregister!\n WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 253 at drivers/base/driver.c:270 driver_unregister+0x8a/0xb0\n Modules linked in: cros_usbpd_notify(-)\n CPU: 0 PID: 253 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 6.1.0-rc3 #24\n ...\n Call Trace:\n  \u003cTASK\u003e\n  cros_usbpd_notify_exit+0x11/0x1e [cros_usbpd_notify]\n  __x64_sys_delete_module+0x3c7/0x570\n  ? __ia32_sys_delete_module+0x570/0x570\n  ? lock_is_held_type+0xe3/0x140\n  ? syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x17/0x50\n  ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0xa0/0xd0\n  ? syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x50\n  do_syscall_64+0x37/0x90\n  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd\n RIP: 0033:0x7f333fe9b1b7\n\nThe reason is that the cros_usbpd_notify_init() does not check the return\nvalue of platform_driver_register(), and the cros_usbpd_notify can\ninstall successfully even if platform_driver_register() failed.\n\nFix by checking the return value of platform_driver_register() and\nunregister cros_usbpd_notify_plat_driver when it failed.","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":"platform/chrome: cros_usbpd_notify: Fix error handling in cros_usbpd_notify_init()","id":"CVE-2022-50468","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"staging: rtl8723bs: fix potential memory leak in rtw_init_drv_sw()","id":"CVE-2022-50469"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"scsi: lpfc: Fix null ndlp ptr dereference in abnormal exit path for GFT_ID","id":"CVE-2022-50467"},"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A missing error check in the ChromeOS USBPD notify driver causes a kernel warning and potential instability when unloading the module.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50468/"}
