CVE-2020-11195

Memory disclosure and corruption via unchecked buffer lengths

Published Feb 22, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Out-of-bounds read and write in Qualcomm Snapdragon trusted applications allows local users to access or corrupt protected memory. A trusted application fails to validate command and response buffer lengths when processing a command received from the non-secure side. Low-privileged local access is required; malformed buffers can disclose protected data, corrupt memory, or crash the trusted application.
