Kernel corruption and crash via post-validation input changes
Published Aug 11, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Input validation flaw in NVIDIA Jetson Xavier camera firmware before 32.6.1 allows local users to corrupt kernel data or crash the system. The camera firmware validates attacker-controlled input but then continues using the same mutable data, allowing it to be changed after the check. Low-privileged local access is required; exploitation can corrupt data across kernel components or cause a complete system denial of service.
