This allocation did not initialize tx_tstamps. This\nresults in the tx_tstamps field being zero (due to kcalloc allocation), and\nwould result in a NULL pointer dereference when attempting a transmit\ntimestamp on the new ring.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/13180cb88a7be5ee389f65f6ab9f78e46f7722b2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/624f03a027f2b18647cc4f1a7a81920a1e4e0201","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9eb5fff6b0e78819c758892282da5faa915724d0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b3b173745c8cab1e24d6821488b60abed3acb24d"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:17:07.138532058+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-50710","score":0.00202,"percentile":0.1013,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
