Public exploitNot knownno public code found

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: codecs: max98363: fix uninitialized stream_config->type

stream_config is not initialized before being passed to sdw_stream_add_slave(). The type field may contain garbage and is later copied to stream->type by sdw_config_stream().

Zero-initialize stream_config so type defaults to SDW_STREAM_PCM.

CVSS

NVD hasn't assigned a CVSS score to this CVE (common since the April 2026 policy change).

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.17 %
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 6
Score date: 10/20/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
