It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-50815 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-2022-50815/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50815/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50815","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50815/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50815","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50815","GHSA-8xqr-g5fm-p394","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2022-50815","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2022-50815","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50815"],"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 cause a denial of service by mounting a crafted ext2 filesystem with invalid size parameters.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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\next2: Add sanity checks for group and filesystem size\n\nAdd sanity check that filesystem size does not exceed the underlying\ndevice size and that group size is big enough so that metadata can fit\ninto it.
