Memory corruption via oversized AUX sync-point list
Published Dec 5, 2023 · Updated Oct 21, 2025
Memory corruption in Qualcomm Graphics firmware allows local users to compromise device confidentiality, integrity, and availability via an AUX command. The IOCTL_KGSL_GPU_AUX_COMMAND handler processes an oversized sync-point list and derives a pointer offset outside the valid memory buffer. Local access to the Graphics interface is required; successful exploitation can read or alter protected memory or crash the device.
