CVE-2022-50556 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2022-50556: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref due to drmm_mode_config_init() drmm_mode_config_init() will call drm_mode_create_standard_properties() and won't check the ret value. When drm_mode_create_standard_properties() failed due to alloc, property will be a NULL pointer and may causes the null-ptr-deref. Fix the null-ptr-deref by adding the ret value check. Found null-ptr-deref while testing insert module bochs: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc000000000c: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000060-0x0000000000000067] CPU: 3 PID: 249 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 6.1.0-rc1+ #364 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.15.0-0-g2dd4b9b3f840-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:drm_object_attach_property+0x73/0x3c0 [drm] Call Trace: <TASK> __drm_connector_init+0xb6c/0x1100 [drm] bochs_pci_probe.cold.11+0x4cb/0x7fe [bochs] pci_device_probe+0x17d/0x340 really_probe+0x1db/0x5d0 __driver_probe_device+0x1e7/0x250 driver_probe_device+0x4a/0x120 __driver_attach+0xcd/0x2c0 bus_for_each_dev+0x11a/0x1b0 bus_add_driver+0x3d7/0x500 driver_register+0x18e/0x320 do_one_initcall+0xc4/0x3e0 do_init_module+0x1b4/0x630 load_module+0x5dca/0x7230 __do_sys_finit_module+0x100/0x170 do_syscall_64+0x3f/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd RIP: 0033:0x7ff65af9f839

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-50556

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-50556 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-2022-50556

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-50556.

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-2022-50556, 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.
