CVE-2021-35070

Protected-data disclosure via unrestricted RPM secure stream

Published Jun 14, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Kernel information exposure in Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms allows local users to read secure resources through an RPM secure stream. The SMMU is configured so the RPM secure stream can access any secure resource instead of restricting the stream to its intended mappings. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access; the published impact is disclosure only, without integrity or availability loss.
