CVE-2022-50628 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2022-50628: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/gud: Fix UBSAN warning UBSAN complains about invalid value for bool: [ 101.165172] [drm] Initialized gud 1.0.0 20200422 for 2-3.2:1.0 on minor 1 [ 101.213360] gud 2-3.2:1.0: [drm] fb1: guddrmfb frame buffer device [ 101.213426] usbcore: registered new interface driver gud [ 101.989431] ================================================================================ [ 101.989441] UBSAN: invalid-load in linux/include/linux/iosys-map.h:253:9 [ 101.989447] load of value 121 is not a valid value for type '_Bool' [ 101.989451] CPU: 1 PID: 455 Comm: kworker/1:6 Not tainted 5.18.0-rc5-gud-5.18-rc5 #3 [ 101.989456] Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP EliteBook 820 G1/1991, BIOS L71 Ver. 01.44 04/12/2018 [ 101.989459] Workqueue: events_long gud_flush_work [gud] [ 101.989471] Call Trace: [ 101.989474] <TASK> [ 101.989479] dump_stack_lvl+0x49/0x5f [ 101.989488] dump_stack+0x10/0x12 [ 101.989493] ubsan_epilogue+0x9/0x3b [ 101.989498] __ubsan_handle_load_invalid_value.cold+0x44/0x49 [ 101.989504] dma_buf_vmap.cold+0x38/0x3d [ 101.989511] ? find_busiest_group+0x48/0x300 [ 101.989520] drm_gem_shmem_vmap+0x76/0x1b0 [drm_shmem_helper] [ 101.989528] drm_gem_shmem_object_vmap+0x9/0xb [drm_shmem_helper] [ 101.989535] drm_gem_vmap+0x26/0x60 [drm] [ 101.989594] drm_gem_fb_vmap+0x47/0x150 [drm_kms_helper] [ 101.989630] gud_prep_flush+0xc1/0x710 [gud] [ 101.989639] ? _raw_spin_lock+0x17/0x40 [ 101.989648] gud_flush_work+0x1e0/0x430 [gud] [ 101.989653] ? __switch_to+0x11d/0x470 [ 101.989664] process_one_work+0x21f/0x3f0 [ 101.989673] worker_thread+0x200/0x3e0 [ 101.989679] ? rescuer_thread+0x390/0x390 [ 101.989684] kthread+0xfd/0x130 [ 101.989690] ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 [ 101.989696] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 [ 101.989706] </TASK> [ 101.989708] ================================================================================ The source of this warning is in iosys_map_clear() called from dma_buf_vmap(). It conditionally sets values based on map->is_iomem. The iosys_map variables are allocated uninitialized on the stack leading to ->is_iomem having all kinds of values and not only 0/1. Fix this by zeroing the iosys_map variables.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2022-50628

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2022-50628 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-2022-50628

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2022-50628.

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-2022-50628, 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.

CIA Impact Analysis
