Memory Out-of-Bound Access in Linux Kernel SELinux Component

CVE-2022-50200

What is CVE-2022-50200?

A vulnerability has been reported in the SELinux component of the Linux kernel, which allows for memory out-of-bound access if appropriate boundary checks are not enforced. This oversight can lead to potential exploitation, compromising system integrity and stability. Proper boundary checks should be implemented in the put_entry() function, similar to the existing checks in the next_entry() function, to fortify the kernel’s defenses against unauthorized memory accesses.
