CVE-2022-50142
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
intel_th: msu: Fix vmalloced buffers
After commit f5ff79fddf0e ("dma-mapping: remove CONFIG_DMA_REMAP") there's a chance of DMA buffer getting allocated via vmalloc(), which messes up the mmapping code:
> RIP: msc_mmap_fault [intel_th_msu] > Call Trace: > <TASK> > __do_fault > do_fault ...
Fix this by accounting for vmalloc possibility.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.20%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 9
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
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
