CVE-2022-50075

5.5 · MEDIUM
Published Jun 18, 2025 linux CWE-476 EPSS 0.16% (6th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-50075 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on June 18, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. 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:

tracing/eprobes: Have event probes be consistent with kprobes and uprobes

Currently, if a symbol "@" is attempted to be used with an event probe

(eprobes), it will cause a NULL pointer dereference crash.

Both kprobes and uprobes can reference data other than the main registers.

Such as immediate address, symbols and the current task name. Have eprobes

do the same thing.

For "comm", if "comm" is used and the event being attached to does not

have the "comm" field, then make it the "$comm" that kprobes has. This is

consistent to the way histograms and filters work.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. 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.
