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-2022-50749 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-2022-50749/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50749/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50749","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50749/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50749","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50749","GHSA-xpg5-5j2p-2g3r","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50749"],"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":"none","summary":"A local attacker can trigger an integer overflow in the Linux kernel accounting subsystem, potentially causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"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\nacct: fix potential integer overflow in encode_comp_t()\n\nThe integer overflow is descripted with following codes:\n  \u003e 317 static comp_t encode_comp_t(u64 value)\n  \u003e 318 {\n  \u003e 319         int exp, rnd;\n    ......\n  \u003e 341         exp \u003c\u003c= MANTSIZE;\n  \u003e 342         exp += value;\n  \u003e 343         return exp;\n  \u003e 344 }\n\nCurrently comp_t is defined as type of '__u16', but the variable 'exp' is\ntype of 'int', so overflow would happen when variable 'exp' in line 343 is\ngreater than 65535.","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":"acct: fix potential integer overflow in encode_comp_t()","id":"CVE-2022-50749","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"integer_overflow","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"drm/panel/panel-sitronix-st7701: Remove panel on DSI attach failure","id":"CVE-2022-50750"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ipc: mqueue: fix possible memory leak in init_mqueue_fs()","id":"CVE-2022-50748"},"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 local attacker can trigger an integer overflow in the Linux kernel accounting subsystem, potentially causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50749/"}
