CVE-2022-50390 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/ttm: fix undefined behavior in bit shift for TTM_TT_FLAG_PRIV_POPULATED Shifting signed 32-bit value by 31 bits is undefined, so changing significant bit to unsigned. The UBSAN warning calltrace like below: UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in ./include/drm/ttm/ttm_tt.h:122:26 left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int' Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x7d/0xa5 dump_stack+0x15/0x1b ubsan_epilogue+0xe/0x4e __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0x1e7/0x20c ttm_bo_move_memcpy+0x3b4/0x460 [ttm] bo_driver_move+0x32/0x40 [drm_vram_helper] ttm_bo_handle_move_mem+0x118/0x200 [ttm] ttm_bo_validate+0xfa/0x220 [ttm] drm_gem_vram_pin_locked+0x70/0x1b0 [drm_vram_helper] drm_gem_vram_pin+0x48/0xb0 [drm_vram_helper] drm_gem_vram_plane_helper_prepare_fb+0x53/0xe0 [drm_vram_helper] drm_gem_vram_simple_display_pipe_prepare_fb+0x26/0x30 [drm_vram_helper] drm_simple_kms_plane_prepare_fb+0x4d/0xe0 [drm_kms_helper] drm_atomic_helper_prepare_planes+0xda/0x210 [drm_kms_helper] drm_atomic_helper_commit+0xc3/0x1e0 [drm_kms_helper] drm_atomic_commit+0x9c/0x160 [drm] drm_client_modeset_commit_atomic+0x33a/0x380 [drm] drm_cli…

Matched remediation archetype

Buffer bounds, memory safety, and memory corruption

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

Check exposure

  • Identify affected native-code versions, build flags, architectures, parsers, codecs, drivers, and input paths in all shipped artifacts.
  • Determine whether untrusted data reaches the affected routine and the process privilege, sandbox, and network exposure.
  • Confirm statically linked, vendored, firmware, and platform-provided copies, not only package-manager records.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained upstream correction or replace the affected component, then rebuild every dependent artifact from clean inputs.
  • Adopt bounds-checked interfaces, validated sizes and integer conversions, clear ownership, and memory-safe components where practical.
  • Enable supported compiler and runtime hardening and add sanitized tests and fuzz regression seeds derived from non-weaponized fixtures.
