CVE-2022-33231

Memory corruption via encryption-key initialization double free

Published Apr 4, 2023 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Memory corruption in Qualcomm Snapdragon Core allows local users to corrupt memory during encryption-key initialization. The Core component releases the same allocation twice while initializing an encryption key, corrupting allocator state. Local access is required; no privileges or user interaction are required, and successful triggering can compromise the surrounding execution context.
