Last modified
CVE-2022-50278 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PNP: fix name memory leak in pnp_alloc_dev() After commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically, move dev_set_name() after pnp_add_id() to avoid memory leak.. EPSS estimates a 0.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
