CVE-2017-18306

Local information disclosure via uninitialized camera variable

Published Nov 26, 2024 · Updated Nov 26, 2024

Information exposure in the Qualcomm Snapdragon camera driver allows local users to disclose data through an uninitialized variable. The driver fails to initialize a variable before its value is exposed, allowing unintended camera-driver data disclosure. Local execution is required; Qualcomm has not published the affected function, request path, or exact disclosed data.
