What is a Memory Corruption Vulnerability?
The software writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can result in corruption of data, a crash, or code execution.

A subsequent write operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
CVE-2022-33184 has been classified to as a Memory Corruption vulnerability or weakness.
