CVE-2023-43541

Memory corruption via SubmitCommands null dereference

Published Mar 4, 2024 · Updated Aug 12, 2024

NULL pointer dereference in Qualcomm Snapdragon Compute graphics allows local users to corrupt memory through a SubmitCommands call. The Gfx engine dereferences a null pointer while handling SubmitCommands during graphics rendering, corrupting memory. Local execution is required; Qualcomm reports confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact but discloses no finer consequence.
