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-2022-50577 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2022-50577/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50577/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50577","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50577/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50577","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50577","GHSA-6fv2-p7hp-vxq5","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50577"],"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":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel's IMA subsystem allows local attackers to exhaust system memory, potentially causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nima: Fix memory leak in __ima_inode_hash()\n\nCommit f3cc6b25dcc5 (\"ima: always measure and audit files in policy\") lets\nmeasurement or audit happen even if the file digest cannot be calculated.\n\nAs a result, iint-\u003eima_hash could have been allocated despite\nima_collect_measurement() returning an error.\n\nSince ima_hash belongs to a temporary inode metadata structure, declared\nat the beginning of __ima_inode_hash(), just add a kfree() call if\nima_collect_measurement() returns an error different from -ENOMEM (in that\ncase, ima_hash should not have been allocated).","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":"ima: Fix memory leak in __ima_inode_hash()","id":"CVE-2022-50577","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"class: fix possible memory leak in __class_register()","id":"CVE-2022-50578"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"serial: pch: Fix PCI device refcount leak in pch_request_dma()","id":"CVE-2022-50576"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-10-22","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel's IMA subsystem allows local attackers to exhaust system memory, potentially causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50577/"}
