CVSS Release:
CVE-2022-50541: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: ti: k3-udma: Reset UDMA_CHAN_RT byte counters to prevent overflow UDMA_CHAN_RT_*BCNT_REG stores the real-time channel bytecount statistics. These registers are 32-bit hardware counters and the driver uses these counters to monitor the operational progress status for a channel, when transferring more than 4GB of data it was observed that these counters overflow and completion calculation of a operation gets affected and the transfer hangs indefinitely. This commit adds changes to decrease the byte count for every complete transaction so that these registers never overflow and the proper byte count statistics is maintained for ongoing transaction by the RT counters. Earlier uc->bcnt used to maintain a count of the completed bytes at driver side, since the RT counters maintain the statistics of current transaction now, the maintenance of uc->bcnt is not necessary.
The exploitability of CVE-2022-50541 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).
No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-50541.
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-2022-50541, 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-2022-50541, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
