CVE-2024-33059

Memory corruption via frame-command use-after-free

Published Jan 6, 2025 · Updated Jan 6, 2025

Use-after-free in Qualcomm Snapdragon Computer Vision firmware allows local users with high privileges to corrupt memory via frame-command IOCTL calls. The component retains or dereferences freed memory while handling a frame command, causing later IOCTL processing to operate on a stale allocation. Reachability requires local high-privilege access; Qualcomm has not disclosed whether exploitation yields code execution, data access, or only a crash.
