{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50078","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  tracing/eprobes: Do not allow eprobes to use $stack, or % for regs  While playing with event probes (eprobes), I tried to see what would happen if I attempted to retrieve the instruction pointer (%rip) knowing that event probes do not use pt_regs. The result was:   BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000024  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page  PGD 0 P4D 0  Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI  CPU: 1 PID: 1847 Comm: trace-cmd Not tainted 5.19.0-rc5-test+ #309  Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF/339A, BIOS K01 v03.03 07/14/2016  RIP: 0010:get_event_field.isra.0+0x0/0x50  Code: ff 48 c7 c7 c0 8f 74 a1 e8 3d 8b f5 ff e8 88 09 f6 ff 4c 89 e7 e8 50 6a 13 00 48 89 ef 5b 5d 41 5c 41 5d e9 42 6a 13 00 66 90 \u003c48\u003e 63 47 24 8b 57 2c 48 01 c6 8b 47 28 83 f8 02 74 0e 83 f8 04 74  RSP: 0018:ffff916c394bbaf0 EFLAGS: 00010086  RAX: ffff916c854041d8 RBX: ffff916c8d9fbf50 RCX: ffff916c255d2000  RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffff916c255d2008 RDI: 0000000000000000  RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: ffff916c3a2a0c08 R09: ffff916c394bbda8  R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff916c854041d8  R13: ffff916c854041b0 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000  FS:  0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff916c9ea40000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000  CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033  CR2: 0000000000000024 CR3: 000000011b60a002 CR4: 00000000001706e0  Call Trace:   \u003cTASK\u003e   get_eprobe_size+0xb4/0x640   ? __mod_node_page_state+0x72/0xc0   __eprobe_trace_func+0x59/0x1a0   ? __mod_lruvec_page_state+0xaa/0x1b0   ? page_remove_file_rmap+0x14/0x230   ? page_remove_rmap+0xda/0x170   event_triggers_call+0x52/0xe0   trace_event_buffer_commit+0x18f/0x240   trace_event_raw_event_sched_wakeup_template+0x7a/0xb0   try_to_wake_up+0x260/0x4c0   __wake_up_common+0x80/0x180   __wake_up_common_lock+0x7c/0xc0   do_notify_parent+0x1c9/0x2a0   exit_notify+0x1a9/0x220   do_exit+0x2ba/0x450   do_group_exit+0x2d/0x90   __x64_sys_exit_group+0x14/0x20   do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0  Obviously this is not the desired result.  Move the testing for TPARG_FL_TPOINT which is only used for event probes to the top of the \"$\" variable check, as all the other variables are not used for event probes. Also add a check in the register parsing \"%\" to fail if an event probe is used.","modified":"2026-08-27T23:04:31.241365647Z","published":"2025-06-18T11:15:36.753Z","upstream":["CVE-2022-50078"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-50078"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"linux","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/linux?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.0.2-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50078.json"}},{"package":{"name":"linux","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/linux?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.0.2-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50078.json"}},{"package":{"name":"linux","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/linux?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.0.2-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2022-50078.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
