CVE-2022-50819 — udmabuf: Set ubuf->sg = NULL if the creation of sg table fails

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udmabuf: Set ubuf->sg = NULL if the creation of sg table fails When userspace tries to map the dmabuf and if for some reason (e.g. OOM) the creation of the sg table fails, ubuf->sg needs to be set to NULL. Otherwise, when the userspace subsequently closes the dmabuf fd, we'd try to erroneously free the invalid sg table from release_udmabuf resulting in the following crash reported by syzbot: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000000: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007] CPU: 0 PID: 3609 Comm: syz-executor487 Not tainted 5.19.0-syzkaller-13930-g7ebfc85e2cd7 #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 07/22/2022 RIP: 0010:dma_unmap_sgtable include/linux/dma-mapping.h:378 [inline] RIP: 0010:put_sg_table drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c:89 [inline] RIP: 0010:release_udmabuf+0xcb/0x4f0 drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c:114 Code: 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 80 3c 02 00 0f 85 2b 04 00 00 48 8d 7d 0c 4c 8b 63 30 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 fc ff df 48 89 fa 48 c1 ea 03 <0f> b6 14 02 48 89 f8 83 e0 07 83 c0 03 38 d0 7c 08 84 d2 0f 85 e2 RSP: 0018:ffffc900037efd30 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: dffffc0000000000 RBX: ffffffff8cb67800 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffff84ad27e0 RDI: 0000000000000000 RBP: fffffffffffffff4 R08: 0000000000000005 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000000008c07c R12: ffff88801fa05000 R13: ffff888073db07e8 R14: ffff888025c25440 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000555555fc4300(0000) GS:ffff8880b9a00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007fc1c0ce06e4 CR3: 00000000715e6000 CR4: 00000000003506f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: <TASK> dma_buf_release+0x157/0x2d0 drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c:78 __dentry_kill+0x42b/0x640 fs/dcache.c:612 dentry_kill fs/dcache.c:733 [inline] dput+0x806/0xdb0 fs/dcache.c:913 __fput+0x39c/0x9d0 fs/file_table.c:333 task_work_run+0xdd/0x1a0 kernel/task_work.c:177 ptrace_notify+0x114/0x140 kernel/signal.c:2353 ptrace_report_syscall include/linux/ptrace.h:420 [inline] ptrace_report_syscall_exit include/linux/ptrace.h:482 [inline] syscall_exit_work kernel/entry/common.c:249 [inline] syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0x129/0x280 kernel/entry/common.c:276 __syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work kernel/entry/common.c:281 [inline] syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x9/0x50 kernel/entry/common.c:294 do_syscall_64+0x42/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:86 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd RIP: 0033:0x7fc1c0c35b6b Code: 0f 05 48 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 45 c3 0f 1f 40 00 48 83 ec 18 89 7c 24 0c e8 63 fc ff ff 8b 7c 24 0c 41 89 c0 b8 03 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 35 44 89 c7 89 44 24 0c e8 a1 fc ff ff 8b 44 RSP: 002b:00007ffd78a06090 EFLAGS: 00000293 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000003 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000007 RCX: 00007fc1c0c35b6b RDX: 0000000020000280 RSI: 0000000040086200 RDI: 0000000000000006 RBP: 0000000000000007 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000293 R12: 000000000000000c R13: 0000000000000003 R14: 00007fc1c0cfe4a0 R15: 00007ffd78a06140 </TASK> Modules linked in: ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- RIP: 0010:dma_unmap_sgtable include/linux/dma-mapping.h:378 [inline] RIP: 0010:put_sg_table drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c:89 [inline] RIP: 0010:release_udmabuf+0xcb/0x4f0 drivers/dma-buf/udmabuf.c:114

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+2

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2022-50819 is "udmabuf: Set ubuf->sg = NULL if the creation of sg table fails", rated Unknown. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. EPSS 0.24% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
