CVE-2022-50356 is a NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel Stochastic Fair Blue (SFB) network queuing discipline error-cleanup path. When SFB is configured as the default qdisc and initialization of a device queue fails during mqprio_init(), a failure in tcf_block_get() can leave the child qdisc pointer unset. Cleanup subsequently reaches sfb_reset(), which calls qdisc_reset() on that NULL pointer, causing a general-protection fault.
