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-2022-50536 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-2022-50536/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50536/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50536","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50536/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50536","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50536","GHSA-x73r-r6qr-625x","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50536"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's BPF sockmap allows attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially escalate privileges via repeated socket releases.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-415","name":"Double Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf, sockmap: Fix repeated calls to sock_put() when msg has more_data\n\nIn tcp_bpf_send_verdict() redirection, the eval variable is assigned to\n__SK_REDIRECT after the apply_bytes data is sent, if msg has more_data,\nsock_put() will be called multiple times.\n\nWe should reset the eval variable to __SK_NONE every time more_data\nstarts.\n\nThis causes:\n\nIPv4: Attempt to release TCP socket in state 1 00000000b4c925d7\n------------[ cut here ]------------\nrefcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.\nWARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 4482 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x7d/0x110\nModules linked in:\nCPU: 5 PID: 4482 Comm: sockhash_bypass Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.0.0 #1\nHardware name: Red Hat KVM, BIOS 1.11.0-2.el7 04/01/2014\nCall Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n __tcp_transmit_skb+0xa1b/0xb90\n ?
