CVE-2022-50468 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2022-50468: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/chrome: cros_usbpd_notify: Fix error handling in cros_usbpd_notify_init() The following WARNING message was given when rmmod cros_usbpd_notify: Unexpected driver unregister! WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 253 at drivers/base/driver.c:270 driver_unregister+0x8a/0xb0 Modules linked in: cros_usbpd_notify(-) CPU: 0 PID: 253 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 6.1.0-rc3 #24 ... Call Trace: <TASK> cros_usbpd_notify_exit+0x11/0x1e [cros_usbpd_notify] __x64_sys_delete_module+0x3c7/0x570 ? __ia32_sys_delete_module+0x570/0x570 ? lock_is_held_type+0xe3/0x140 ? syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x17/0x50 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0xa0/0xd0 ? syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x50 do_syscall_64+0x37/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd RIP: 0033:0x7f333fe9b1b7 The reason is that the cros_usbpd_notify_init() does not check the return value of platform_driver_register(), and the cros_usbpd_notify can install successfully even if platform_driver_register() failed. Fix by checking the return value of platform_driver_register() and unregister cros_usbpd_notify_plat_driver when it failed.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-50468

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-50468 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-2022-50468

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-50468.

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.
