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-2022-50779 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-2022-50779/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50779/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50779","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50779/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50779","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50779","GHSA-rp7x-j245-c8g9","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50779"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel module","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A memory leak in the orangefs kernel module allows local attackers to exhaust system memory, potentially causing denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"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\norangefs: Fix kmemleak in orangefs_prepare_debugfs_help_string()\n\nWhen insert and remove the orangefs module, then debug_help_string will\nbe leaked:\n\n  unreferenced object 0xffff8881652ba000 (size 4096):\n    comm \"insmod\", pid 1701, jiffies 4294893639 (age 13218.530s)\n    hex dump (first 32 bytes):\n      43 6c 69 65 6e 74 20 44 65 62 75 67 20 4b 65 79  Client Debug Key\n      77 6f 72 64 73 20 61 72 65 20 75 6e 6b 6e 6f 77  words are unknow\n    backtrace:\n      [\u003c0000000004e6f8e3\u003e] kmalloc_trace+0x27/0xa0\n      [\u003c0000000006f75d85\u003e] orangefs_prepare_debugfs_help_string+0x5e/0x480 [orangefs]\n      [\u003c0000000091270a2a\u003e] _sub_I_65535_1+0x57/0xf70 [crc_itu_t]\n      [\u003c000000004b1ee1a3\u003e] do_one_initcall+0x87/0x2a0\n      [\u003c000000001d0614ae\u003e] do_init_module+0xdf/0x320\n      [\u003c00000000efef068c\u003e] load_module+0x2f98/0x3330\n      [\u003c000000006533b44d\u003e] __do_sys_finit_module+0x113/0x1b0\n      [\u003c00000000a0da6f99\u003e] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80\n      [\u003c000000007790b19b\u003e] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0\n\nWhen remove the module, should always free debug_help_string.
