EPSS Score1.5%

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates a 1.5% chance this CVE is exploited in the wild within the next 30 days — higher than 74% of all CVEs. It complements CVSS: a high EPSS on a mid-severity CVE can still be urgent.

The Code Aurora audio calibration database (acdb) audio driver contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows for privilege escalation. Code Aurora is used in third-party products such as Qualcomm and Android.
