Overview

CVE-2022-50292 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/msm/dp: fix bridge lifetime

Device-managed resources allocated post component bind must be tied to

the lifetime of the aggregate DRM device or they will not necessarily be

released when binding of the aggregate device is deferred.

This can lead resource leaks or failure to bind the aggregate device

when binding is later retried and a second attempt to allocate the

resources is made.

For the DP bridges, previously allocated bridges will leak on probe

deferral.

Fix this by amending the DP parser interface and tying the lifetime of

the bridge device to the DRM device rather than DP platform device.

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.
