CVE-2022-50363 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: skmsg: pass gfp argument to alloc_sk_msg() syzbot found that alloc_sk_msg() could be called from a non sleepable context. sk_psock_verdict_recv() uses rcu_read_lock() protection. We need the callers to pass a gfp_t argument to avoid issues. syzbot report was: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:274 in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 3613, name: syz-executor414 preempt_count: 0, expected: 0 RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 0 INFO: lockdep is turned off.

Matched remediation archetype

Use-after-free, double free, and expired resource use

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace ownership, references, callbacks, asynchronous tasks, and teardown paths around the affected object or resource.
  • Identify reachable inputs and timing or state transitions that can release the object while references remain.
  • Confirm affected builds, allocators, feature flags, architectures, and process privileges.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained ownership or lifetime fix and rebuild all artifacts containing the affected native code.
  • Use explicit ownership, safe reference management, cancellation and join semantics, and idempotent teardown.
  • Add deterministic lifetime tests plus isolated sanitizer and concurrency coverage for shutdown and error paths.
