Cross-boundary memory corruption via invalid input
Published Jan 6, 2023 · Updated Apr 9, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in Qualcomm Snapdragon Auto chipsets allows local users with high privileges to corrupt memory via invalid input. Qualcomm identifies improper input validation in proprietary Automotive code as the cause but does not disclose the affected component, input path, or write operation. Exploitation requires local access with high privileges and can cross a security boundary, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
