Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.1.1 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function fcoe_if_init of the component scsi. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: fcoe: Fix transport not deattached when fcoe_if_init() fails fcoe_init() calls fcoe_transport_attach(&fcoe_sw_transport), but when fcoe_if_init() fails, &fcoe_sw_transport is not detached and leaves freed &fcoe_sw_transport on fcoe_transports list. This causes panic when reinserting module. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff82e2213 RIP: 0010:fcoe_transport_attach+0xe1/0x230 [libfcoe] Call Trace: <TASK> do_one_initcall+0xd0/0x4e0 load_module+0x5eee/0x7210 ...

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2022-50414 since 09/17/2025. The exploitation appears to be easy. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 12/12/2025).
