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-2022-50883 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-2022-50883/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50883/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-50883","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50883/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-50883","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50883","GHSA-qw5g-ghj8-55p6","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-50883"],"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":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger a null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel BPF subsystem, causing a system crash.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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\nbpf: Prevent decl_tag from being referenced in func_proto arg\n\nSyzkaller managed to hit another decl_tag issue:\n\n  btf_func_proto_check kernel/bpf/btf.c:4506 [inline]\n  btf_check_all_types kernel/bpf/btf.c:4734 [inline]\n  btf_parse_type_sec+0x1175/0x1980 kernel/bpf/btf.c:4763\n  btf_parse kernel/bpf/btf.c:5042 [inline]\n  btf_new_fd+0x65a/0xb00 kernel/bpf/btf.c:6709\n  bpf_btf_load+0x6f/0x90 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:4342\n  __sys_bpf+0x50a/0x6c0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5034\n  __do_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5093 [inline]\n  __se_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5091 [inline]\n  __x64_sys_bpf+0x7c/0x90 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5091\n  do_syscall_64+0x54/0x70 arch/x86/entry/common.c:48\n\nThis seems similar to commit ea68376c8bed (\"bpf: prevent decl_tag from being\nreferenced in func_proto\") but for the argument.","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":"bpf: Prevent decl_tag from being referenced in func_proto arg","id":"CVE-2022-50883","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"drm: Prevent drm_copy_field() to attempt copying a NULL pointer","id":"CVE-2022-50884"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"media: uvcvideo: Fix memory leak in uvc_gpio_parse","id":"CVE-2022-50882"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-12-30","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 a null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel BPF subsystem, causing a system crash.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-50883/"}
