TEE memory corruption via secure I/O cast
Published Aug 8, 2023 · Updated Oct 22, 2024
Memory corruption in Qualcomm Snapdragon Core TEE firmware allows local users to corrupt memory through secure I/O operations. The secure_io_read/write function performs an incorrect type conversion or cast while processing TEE secure I/O data. Local access is required, while the public record does not specify whether corruption causes code execution, disclosure, or a crash.
