CVE-2022-48240

Local device crash via missing bounds check

Published May 9, 2023 · Updated Jan 28, 2025

An out-of-bounds write in the UNISOC camera driver for Android 10 through 13 allows local users with System privileges to crash devices. The camera driver writes past an intended buffer because it omits a required bounds check; UNISOC has not disclosed the affected function or input. Exploitation requires local access and System execution privileges, and the documented consequence is denial of service rather than data disclosure or modification.
