Overview

CVE-2022-50022 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on June 18, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drivers:md:fix a potential use-after-free bug

In line 2884, "raid5_release_stripe(sh);" drops the reference to sh and

may cause sh to be released. However, sh is subsequently used in lines

2886 "if (sh->batch_head && sh != sh->batch_head)". This may result in an

use-after-free bug.

It can be fixed by moving "raid5_release_stripe(sh);" to the bottom of

the function.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
