Overview

CVE-2022-50647 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 9, 2025.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RISC-V: Make port I/O string accessors actually work

Fix port I/O string accessors such as `insb', `outsb', etc. which use

the physical PCI port I/O address rather than the corresponding memory

mapping to get at the requested location, which in turn breaks at least

accesses made by our parport driver to a PCIe parallel port such as:

PCI parallel port detected: 1415:c118, I/O at 0x1000(0x1008), IRQ 20

parport0: PC-style at 0x1000 (0x1008), irq 20, using FIFO [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP]

causing a memory access fault:

Unable to handle kernel access to user memory without uaccess routines at virtual address 0000000000001008

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2022-50647?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2022-50647 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
