CVE-2022-25660

Kernel memory corruption via duplicate deallocation

Published Oct 12, 2022 · Updated May 15, 2025

A kernel double free in Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms allows local users with low privileges to corrupt memory without user interaction. Qualcomm has not published the affected kernel routine, freed object, or input sequence that triggers the duplicate deallocation. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access, and the public record identifies the consequence only as kernel memory corruption.
