CVE-2024-38587 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: speakup: Fix sizeof() vs ARRAY_SIZE() bug The "buf" pointer is an array of u16 values. This code should be using ARRAY_SIZE() (which is 256) instead of sizeof() (which is 512), otherwise it can the still got out of bounds.. EPSS estimates a 1.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
