CVE-2022-49792: 
Linux Kernel vulnerability analysis and mitigation

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability (CVE-2022-49792) has been identified in the iio: adc: mp2629 component. The issue involves a potential array out of bounds access in the iio core. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed in May 2025, affecting the Linux kernel's Industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem, specifically in the mp2629 ADC driver (Wiz Database).

The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's Industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem, specifically in the mp2629 ADC driver. The issue stems from a missing boundary check that could lead to an array out of bounds access in the iio core functionality. The vulnerability was resolved by adding a sentinel at the end of maps to prevent potential array out of bounds access in the iio core (NVD).

An array out of bounds access vulnerability could potentially lead to memory corruption, system crashes, or potential privilege escalation, though the specific impact details were not explicitly detailed in the available sources (Wiz Database).

The vulnerability has been patched by adding a sentinel at the end of maps to prevent potential array out of bounds access in the iio core. Users should update to a patched version of the Linux kernel that includes this fix (NVD).
