CVE-2022-50012 Vulnerability Summary
CVE-2022-50012: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/64: Init jump labels before parse_early_param() On 64-bit, calling jump_label_init() in setup_feature_keys() is too late because static keys may be used in subroutines of parse_early_param() which is again subroutine of early_init_devtree(). For example booting with "threadirqs": static_key_enable_cpuslocked(): static key '0xc000000002953260' used before call to jump_label_init() WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/jump_label.c:166 static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xfc/0x120 ... NIP static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xfc/0x120 LR static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xf8/0x120 Call Trace: static_key_enable_cpuslocked+0xf8/0x120 (unreliable) static_key_enable+0x30/0x50 setup_forced_irqthreads+0x28/0x40 do_early_param+0xa0/0x108 parse_args+0x290/0x4e0 parse_early_options+0x48/0x5c parse_early_param+0x58/0x84 early_init_devtree+0xd4/0x518 early_setup+0xb4/0x214 So call jump_label_init() just before parse_early_param() in early_init_devtree(). [mpe: Add call trace to change log and minor wording edits.]
Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-50012
Access Complexity Graph
The exploitability of CVE-2022-50012 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2022-50012
No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-50012.
Understanding AC and PR
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
CVSS Score Breakdown Chart
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2022-50012, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
