CVE-2022-49950 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: fastrpc: fix memory corruption on open The probe session-duplication overflow check incremented the session count also when there were no more available sessions so that memory beyond the fixed-size slab-allocated session array could be corrupted in fastrpc_session_alloc() on open().. EPSS estimates a 0.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
