Overview

CVE-2022-50287 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 15, 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:

drm/i915/bios: fix a memory leak in generate_lfp_data_ptrs

When (size != 0 || ptrs->lvds_ entries != 3), the program tries to

free() the ptrs. However, the ptrs is not created by calling kzmalloc(),

but is obtained by pointer offset operation.

This may lead to memory leaks or undefined behavior.

Fix this by replacing the arguments of kfree() with ptrs_block.

(cherry picked from commit 7674cd0b7d28b952151c3df26bbfa7e07eb2b4ec)

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.
