Kernel memory disclosure via buffer over-read
Published Oct 12, 2022 · Updated May 15, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in the kernel of Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms allows local users to disclose memory through a buffer over-read. The closed-source kernel component reads beyond the intended buffer boundary, but Qualcomm has not disclosed the affected function, input, or exact length-validation error. Local execution on a device containing an affected chipset is required; the bounded consequences are kernel-memory disclosure and limited service interruption, with no integrity impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
