11
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-50748 is a memory leak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's mqueue IPC subsystem. Specifically, it occurs when the init_mqueue_fs function fails after setup_mq_sysctls, leading to unreleased resources. This vulnerability affects the Linux kernel, but specific affected products are not detailed. The severity of this vulnerability is low, with no CVSS score assigned and a FAUCET Risk Score of 7/100. Memory leaks typically impact system stability or performance rather than enabling direct remote code execution. There is no evidence of active exploitation, and no exploit code is publicly available on platforms like Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, indicating a lack of widespread attention.
