An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-50783 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-2022-50783/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50783/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50783","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50783/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50783","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50783","GHSA-7hfj-fw8x-q6p6","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50783"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the Linux kernel MPTCP IPv6 handling allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted network traffic.","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\nmptcp: use proper req destructor for IPv6\n\nBefore, only the destructor from TCP request sock in IPv4 was called\neven if the subflow was IPv6.\n\nIt is important to use the right destructor to avoid memory leaks with\nsome advanced IPv6 features, e.g. when the request socks contain\nspecific IPv6 options.","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":"mptcp: use proper req destructor for IPv6","id":"CVE-2022-50783","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"wifi: iwlwifi: mei: fix potential NULL-ptr deref after clone","id":"CVE-2022-50784"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ext4: fix bug_on in __es_tree_search caused by bad quota inode","id":"CVE-2022-50782"},"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 memory leak in the Linux kernel MPTCP IPv6 handling allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted network traffic.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50783/"}
