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-2022-50712 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-2022-50712/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50712/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50712","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50712/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50712","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50712","GHSA-ffp9-5f99-52w2","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50712"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel devlink subsystem can cause a kernel warning and potential denial of service during device reload.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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\ndevlink: hold region lock when flushing snapshots\n\nNetdevsim triggers a splat on reload, when it destroys regions\nwith snapshots pending:\n\n  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 787 at net/core/devlink.c:6291 devlink_region_snapshot_del+0x12e/0x140\n  CPU: 1 PID: 787 Comm: devlink Not tainted 6.1.0-07460-g7ae9888d6e1c #580\n  RIP: 0010:devlink_region_snapshot_del+0x12e/0x140\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n   devl_region_destroy+0x70/0x140\n   nsim_dev_reload_down+0x2f/0x60 [netdevsim]\n   devlink_reload+0x1f7/0x360\n   devlink_nl_cmd_reload+0x6ce/0x860\n   genl_family_rcv_msg_doit.isra.0+0x145/0x1c0\n\nThis is the locking assert in devlink_region_snapshot_del(),\nwe're supposed to be holding the region-\u003esnapshot_lock here.","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":"devlink: hold region lock when flushing snapshots","id":"CVE-2022-50712","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"clk: visconti: Fix memory leak in visconti_register_pll()","id":"CVE-2022-50713"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: fix possible memory leak in mtk_probe()","id":"CVE-2022-50711"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-24","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 race condition in the Linux kernel devlink subsystem can cause a kernel warning and potential denial of service during device reload.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50712/"}
