CVE-2022-50035: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix use-after-free on amdgpu_bo_list mutex If amdgpu_cs_vm_handling returns r != 0, then it will unlock the bo_list_mutex inside the function amdgpu_cs_vm_handling and again on amdgpu_cs_parser_fini. This problem results in the following use-after-free problem: [ 220.280990] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 220.281000] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

The exploitability of CVE-2022-50035 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).
CVE-2022-50035 presents an accessible attack vector with minimal effort required. Restricting access controls and implementing security updates are critical to reducing exploitation risks.
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.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2022-50035, 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.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2022-50035, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
