CVE-2022-50628 is a vulnerability in Linux, published on 8 Dec 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. ### Official description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/gud: Fix UBSAN warning UBSAN complains about invalid value for bool: [ 101.165172] [drm] Initialized gud 1.0.0 20200422 for 2-3.2:1.0 on minor 1 [ 101.213360] gud 2-3.2:1.0: [drm] fb1: guddrmfb frame buffer device [ 101.213426] usbcore: registered new interface driver gud [ 101.989431] ================================================================================ [ 101.989441] UBSAN: invalid-load in linux/include/linux/iosys-map.h:253:9 [ 101.989447] load of value 121 is not a valid value for type '_Bool' [ 101.989451] CPU: 1 PID: 455 Comm: kworker/1:6 Not tainted 5.18.0-rc5-gud-5.18-rc5 #3 [ 101.989456] Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP EliteBook 820 G1/1991, BIOS L71 Ver. 01.44 04/12/2018 [ 101.989459] Workqueue: events_long gud_flush_work [gud] [ 101.989471] Call Trace: [ 101.989474] [ 101.989479] dump_stack_lvl+0x49/0x5f [ 101.989488] dump_stack+0x10/0x12 [ 101.989493] ubsan_epilogue+0x9/0x3b [ 101.989498] __ubsan_handle_load_invalid_value.cold+0x44/0x49 [ 101.989504] dma_buf_vmap.cold+0x38/0x3d [ 101.989511] ? find_busiest_group+0x48/0x300 [ 101.989520] drm_gem_shmem_vmap+0x76/0x1b0 [drm_shmem_helper] [ 101.989528] drm_gem_shmem_object_vmap+0x9/0xb [drm_shmem_helper] [ 101.989535] drm_gem_vmap+0x26/0x60 [drm] [ 101.989594] drm_gem_fb_vmap+0x47/0x150 [drm_kms_helper] [ 101.989630] gud_prep_flush+0xc1/0x710 [gud] [ 101.989639] ? _raw_spin_lock+0x17/0x40 [ 101.989648] gud_flush_work+0x1e0/0x430 [gud] [ 101.989653] ? __switch_to+0x11d/0x470 [ 101.989664] process_one_work+0x21f/0x3f0 [ 101.989673] worker_thread+0x200/0x3e0 [ 101.989679] ? rescuer_thread+0x390/0x390 [ 101.989684] kthread+0xfd/0x130 [ 101.989690] ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 [ 101.989696] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 [ 101.989706] [ 101.989708] ================================================================================ The source of this warning is in iosys_map_clear() called from dma_buf_vmap(). It conditionally sets values based on map->is_iomem. The iosys_map variables are allocated uninitialized on the stack leading to ->is_iomem having all kinds of values and not only 0/1. Fix this by zeroing the iosys_map variables. ## Which versions are affected by CVE-2022-50628? ## How do I fix CVE-2022-50628? Apply the vendor's patch. ## Is CVE-2022-50628 being exploited? There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-50628 in the wild and no public exploit code. ## Fix prompt for AI coding agents ```text Check this codebase for CVE-2022-50628 and fix it if it is affected. What it is: CVE-2022-50628 is a vulnerability in Linux, published on 8 Dec 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-50628 in the wild and no public exploit code. Affected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page. Task: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
