CVE-2022-50828 — clk: zynqmp: Fix stack-out-of-bounds in strncpy`

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: zynqmp: Fix stack-out-of-bounds in strncpy` "BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in strncpy+0x30/0x68" Linux-ATF interface is using 16 bytes of SMC payload. In case clock name is longer than 15 bytes, string terminated NULL character will not be received by Linux. Add explicit NULL character at last byte to fix issues when clock name is longer.

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.

Affected scope

Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.
