CVE-2022-22072

Memory corruption via unchecked NDP information length

Published Jun 14, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Buffer overflow in Qualcomm Snapdragon WLAN firmware allows local users to corrupt memory through malformed NDP application information. The WLAN copy path does not validate the application-information length before copying the NDP data into a fixed buffer. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access; Qualcomm has not disclosed the affected function or whether the overflow causes a crash or code execution.
