CVE-2022-40517

Memory corruption via core stack overflow

Published Jan 6, 2023 · Updated Apr 9, 2025

Stack-based buffer overflow in Qualcomm Snapdragon core firmware allows local users to corrupt memory through an undisclosed input path. Qualcomm has not published the affected core function, the input field copied into its stack buffer, or the missing bounds check. Local access is required, but no privileges or user interaction are required; the vendor record does not further bound the resulting behavior.
