CVE-2022-50840

11
FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-50840 is a Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability in the Linux kernel's snic driver, specifically within the snic_tgt_create() function. This flaw occurs if device_add() fails, leading to the freeing of a target (tgt) without its list entry (tgt->list) being removed from snic->disc.tgt_list, which can subsequently cause a UAF during list traversal. While no CVSS score is provided, its low EPSS and FAUCET Risk Score suggest a limited overall impact and difficulty in exploitation. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this vulnerability.
