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-2022-50871 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-2022-50871/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50871/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50871","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50871/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50871","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50871","GHSA-hvw4-g8mw-w34v","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2022-50871","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2022-50871","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50871"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing null terminator in the ath11k WiFi driver can cause an infinite loop and out-of-bounds access, leading to a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: ath11k: Fix qmi_msg_handler data structure initialization\n\nqmi_msg_handler is required to be null terminated by QMI module.\nThere might be a case where a handler for a msg id is not present in the\nhandlers array which can lead to infinite loop while searching the handler\nand therefore out of bound access in qmi_invoke_handler().\nHence update the initialization in qmi_msg_handler data structure.\n\nTested-on: IPQ8074 hw2.0 AHB WLAN.HK.2.5.0.1-01100-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1","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":"wifi: ath11k: Fix qmi_msg_handler data structure initialization","id":"CVE-2022-50871","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"ARM: OMAP2+: Fix memory leak in realtime_counter_init()","id":"CVE-2022-50872"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"powerpc/rtas: avoid device tree lookups in rtas_os_term()","id":"CVE-2022-50870"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-30","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A missing null terminator in the ath11k WiFi driver can cause an infinite loop and out-of-bounds access, leading to a system crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50871/"}
