CVE-2022-50320

7.8 · HIGH
Published Sep 15, 2025 linux CWE-787 EPSS 0.16% (6th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-50320 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on September 15, 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:

ACPI: tables: FPDT: Don't call acpi_os_map_memory() on invalid phys address

On a Packard Bell Dot SC (Intel Atom N2600 model) there is a FPDT table

which contains invalid physical addresses, with high bits set which fall

outside the range of the CPU-s supported physical address range.

Calling acpi_os_map_memory() on such an invalid phys address leads to

the below WARN_ON in ioremap triggering resulting in an oops/stacktrace.

Add code to verify the physical address before calling acpi_os_map_memory()

to fix / avoid the oops.

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.
