CVE-2022-50169

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.1)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: wil6210: debugfs: fix info leak in wil_write_file_wmi()

The simple_write_to_buffer() function will succeed if even a single byte is initialized. However, we need to initialize the whole buffer to prevent information leaks. Just use memdup_user().

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: 0.25%
Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 15
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).
