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-2022-50721 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-2022-50721/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50721/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50721","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50721/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50721","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50721","GHSA-9gcm-5rwh-p2jv","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2022-50721","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50721"],"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":"none","summary":"A kernel panic occurs in the qcom-adm DMA driver due to incorrect error handling, causing a denial of service for local attackers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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\ndmaengine: qcom-adm: fix wrong calling convention for prep_slave_sg\n\nThe calling convention for pre_slave_sg is to return NULL on error and\nprovide an error log to the system.
