CVE-2022-50218 Vulnerability Summary
CVE-2022-50218: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: light: isl29028: Fix the warning in isl29028_remove() The driver use the non-managed form of the register function in isl29028_remove(). To keep the release order as mirroring the ordering in probe, the driver should use non-managed form in probe, too. The following log reveals it: [ 32.374955] isl29028 0-0010: remove [ 32.376861] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000006: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI [ 32.377676] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000030-0x0000000000000037] [ 32.379432] RIP: 0010:kernfs_find_and_get_ns+0x28/0xe0 [ 32.385461] Call Trace: [ 32.385807] sysfs_unmerge_group+0x59/0x110 [ 32.386110] dpm_sysfs_remove+0x58/0xc0 [ 32.386391] device_del+0x296/0xe50 [ 32.386959] cdev_device_del+0x1d/0xd0 [ 32.387231] devm_iio_device_unreg+0x27/0xb0 [ 32.387542] devres_release_group+0x319/0x3d0 [ 32.388162] i2c_device_remove+0x93/0x1f0
Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-50218
Access Complexity Graph
The exploitability of CVE-2022-50218 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-2022-50218
No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-50218.
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-2022-50218, 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.
