CVE-2023-42725

Local service interruption via unchecked GPU read

Published Dec 4, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Out-of-bounds read in UNISOC Android 11 GPU drivers allows local users with System privileges to interrupt service. The driver reads beyond the intended GPU buffer because it performs the read without the required bounds check. System-level execution privileges are required, and the documented consequence is a local service interruption rather than remote compromise.
