CVE-2022-50488
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.8)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block, bfq: fix possible uaf for 'bfqq->bic'
Our test report a uaf for 'bfqq->bic' in 5.10:
Commit 3bc5e683c67d ("bfq: Split shared queues on move between cgroups") changes that move process to a new cgroup will allocate a new bfqq to use, however, the old bfqq and new bfqq can point to the same bic:
1) Initial state, two process with io in the same cgroup.
2) bfqq1 is merged to bfqq2.
3) Process 1 exit, then issue new io(denoce IOA) from Process 2.
4) Before IOA is completed, move Process 2 to another cgroup and issue io.
Now that BIC2 points to bfqq3, while bfqq2 and bfqq3 both point to BIC2. If all the requests are completed, and Process 2 exit, BIC2 will be freed while there is no guarantee that bfqq2 will be freed before BIC2.

Fix the problem by clearing bfqq->bic while bfqq is detached from bic.

- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.16%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 5
- Fecha de la puntuación: 2/10/2026
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
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution45 %
Vulnerabilidad local (AV:L, PR:L) en el kernel Linux que permite escalada de privilegios mediante use-after-free (CWE-416). La ejecución de código es potencial pero el texto enfatiza la corrupción de memoria como primitiva de ataque.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
