Last modified
CVE-2022-50496 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm cache: Fix UAF in destroy() Dm_cache also has the same UAF problem when dm_resume() and dm_destroy() are concurrent. Therefore, cancelling timer again in destroy().. EPSS estimates a 0.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
