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-2022-50735 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-2022-50735/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50735/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50735","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50735/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50735","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50735","GHSA-5594-v4cp-2cvj","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50735"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in the mt76 WiFi driver can cause a kernel crash when the status worker runs before the device is fully initialized.","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\nwifi: mt76: do not run mt76u_status_worker if the device is not running\n\nFix the following NULL pointer dereference avoiding to run\nmt76u_status_worker thread if the device is not running yet.\n\nKASAN: null-ptr-deref in range\n[0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]\nCPU: 0 PID: 98 Comm: kworker/u2:2 Not tainted 5.14.0+ #78 Hardware\nname: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS\nrel-1.12.1-0-ga5cab58e9a3f-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014\nWorkqueue: mt76 mt76u_tx_status_data\nRIP: 0010:mt76x02_mac_fill_tx_status.isra.0+0x82c/0x9e0\nCode: c5 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 94 01 00 00\n48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4d 8b 34 24 4c 89 f2 48 c1 ea 03 \u003c0f\u003e\nb6\n04 02 84 c0 74 08 3c 03 0f 8e 89 01 00 00 41 8b 16 41 0f b7\nRSP: 0018:ffffc900005af988 EFLAGS: 00010246\nRAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffffc900005afae8 RCX: 0000000000000000\nRDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff832fc661 RDI: ffffc900005afc2a\nRBP: ffffc900005afae0 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: fffff520000b5f3c\nR10: 0000000000000003 R11: fffff520000b5f3b R12: ffff88810b6132d8\nR13: 000000000000ffff R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffffc900005afc28\nFS:  0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88811aa00000(0000)\nknlGS:0000000000000000\nCS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 00007fa0eda6a000 CR3: 0000000118f17000 CR4: 0000000000750ef0\nPKRU: 55555554\nCall Trace:\n mt76x02_send_tx_status+0x1d2/0xeb0\n mt76x02_tx_status_data+0x8e/0xd0\n mt76u_tx_status_data+0xe1/0x240\n process_one_work+0x92b/0x1460\n worker_thread+0x95/0xe00\n kthread+0x3a1/0x480\n ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30\nModules linked in:\n--[ end trace 8df5d20fc5040f65 ]--\nRIP: 0010:mt76x02_mac_fill_tx_status.isra.0+0x82c/0x9e0\nCode: c5 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 94 01 00 00\n48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 4d 8b 34 24 4c 89 f2 48 c1 ea 03 \u003c0f\u003e\nb6\n04 02 84 c0 74 08 3c 03 0f 8e 89 01 00 00 41 8b 16 41 0f b7\nRSP: 0018:ffffc900005af988 EFLAGS: 00010246\nRAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffffc900005afae8 RCX: 0000000000000000\nRDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff832fc661 RDI: ffffc900005afc2a\nRBP: ffffc900005afae0 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: fffff520000b5f3c\nR10: 0000000000000003 R11: fffff520000b5f3b R12: ffff88810b6132d8\nR13: 000000000000ffff R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffffc900005afc28\nFS:  0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88811aa00000(0000)\nknlGS:0000000000000000\nCS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033\nCR2: 00007fa0eda6a000 CR3: 0000000118f17000 CR4: 0000000000750ef0\nPKRU: 55555554\n\nMoreover move stat_work schedule out of the for loop.","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":"wifi: mt76: do not run mt76u_status_worker if the device is not running","id":"CVE-2022-50735","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"RDMA/siw: Fix immediate work request flush to completion queue","id":"CVE-2022-50736"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"nvmem: core: Fix memleak in nvmem_register()","id":"CVE-2022-50734"},"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 NULL pointer dereference in the mt76 WiFi driver can cause a kernel crash when the status worker runs before the device is fully initialized.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50735/"}
