This omission can lead to an out-of-bounds memory access.

The potential impact of this flaw includes unpredictable system behavior and kernel-level crashes. Successful exploitation could disrupt system availability and potentially be leveraged for further malicious activities, depending on the context and any subsequent vulnerabilities exposed by the undefined behavior.
