Overview

CVE-2022-50087 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:

firmware: arm_scpi: Ensure scpi_info is not assigned if the probe fails

When scpi probe fails, at any point, we need to ensure that the scpi_info

is not set and will remain NULL until the probe succeeds. If it is not

taken care, then it could result use-after-free as the value is exported

via get_scpi_ops() and could refer to a memory allocated via devm_kzalloc()

but freed when the probe fails.

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.
