## What is CVE-2022-50741?

CVE-2022-50741 is a denial of service vulnerability in Linux, published on 24 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:

media: imx-jpeg: Disable useless interrupt to avoid kernel panic

There is a hardware bug that the interrupt STMBUF_HALF may be triggered
after or when disable interrupt.
It may led to unexpected kernel panic.
And interrupt STMBUF_HALF and STMBUF_RTND have no other effect.
So disable them and the unused interrupts.

meanwhile clear the interrupt status when disable interrupt.

Check this codebase for CVE-2022-50741 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2022-50741 is a denial of service vulnerability in Linux, published on 24 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-2022-50741 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.
