CVE-2022-49249 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: codecs: wc938x: fix accessing array out of bounds for enum type Accessing enums using integer would result in array out of bounds access on platforms like aarch64 where sizeof(long) is 8 compared to enum size which is 4 bytes. Fix this by using enumerated items instead of integers.. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
