Memory corruption via HGSL context-create use-after-free
Published Mar 4, 2024 · Updated Aug 26, 2024
Use-after-free in Qualcomm Snapdragon HGSL firmware allows local users to corrupt memory through an IOCTL context-create request. The HGSL context-create path accesses memory after its lifetime ends, but Qualcomm has not identified the freed object or triggering sequence publicly. A local user needs no prior privileges or user interaction, and successful exploitation can compromise data and interrupt device operation.
