CVE-2022-50189
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tools/power turbostat: Fix file pointer leak
Currently if a fscanf fails then an early return leaks an open file pointer. Fix this by fclosing the file before the return. Detected using static analysis with cppcheck:
tools/power/x86/turbostat/turbostat.c:2039:3: error: Resource leak: fp [resourceLeak]
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.22%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 12
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
