Linux Kernel vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2022-50028 is a vulnerability discovered in the Linux kernel affecting the gadgetfs subsystem. The vulnerability was disclosed and published on June 18, 2025. The issue specifically affects the ep_io functionality in the gadgetfs component (NVD, Wiz).
Technical details
The vulnerability occurs in the gadgetfs subsystem's epio component when waitforcompletioninterruptible() is interrupted after usbepqueue() is called. If the interrupt occurs, the system needs to wait until the IRQ finishes, otherwise the complete() function from epio_complete() can corrupt the stack (NVD, Wiz).
Impact
The vulnerability could lead to stack corruption, which might result in system instability or potential security implications in the Linux kernel (Wiz).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been fixed in multiple Linux kernel versions. Debian has addressed this in various releases including bullseye (5.10.223-1, 5.10.237-1), bookworm (6.1.137-1, 6.1.140-1), and trixie/sid (6.12.32-1) (Debian Tracker).
