CVE-2022-50317

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A null pointer dereference issue has been resolved in the Linux kernel’s drm/bridge module, specifically within the megachips driver. This occurs during module removal, potentially leading to a general protection fault. The issue arises because the driver attempts to remove an object that has not been initialized, due to the bridges not being probed simultaneously.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
