CVE-2022-50495

Rejected by assigning authority

Published Oct 4, 2025 · Updated Oct 4, 2025

The CVE Numbering Authority rejected CVE-2022-50495, so it no longer identifies a vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. Before rejection, the record described an error-path memory leak in xen_smp_intr_init() and xen_smp_intr_init_pv(), where kasprintf() names were not retained for cleanup after interrupt-handler binding failed. The rejected record carries no current affected versions, weakness, severity assessment, or exploitation claim.
