CVE-2022-50253

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's network packet processing. A local attacker with high privileges could trigger a denial of service. This occurs when a specially crafted network packet, after header removal, results in a zero-length packet being redirected to a tunneling device. The improper handling of this zero-length packet can lead to a kernel warning and system instability, causing the system to become unresponsive.
