Last modified
CVE-2022-50514 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_hid: fix refcount leak on error path When failing to allocate report_desc, opts->refcnt has already been incremented so it needs to be decremented to avoid leaving the options structure permanently locked.. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
