CVE-2024-38412

Local memory corruption via session-error IOCTL use-after-free

Published Feb 3, 2025 · Updated Feb 3, 2025

Use-after-free in Qualcomm Snapdragon Computer Vision components allows local users to corrupt kernel memory through crafted IOCTL calls. The kernel-side EVA driver processes session-error handling after freeing associated memory, causing an invalid reuse during the user-space request. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and no user interaction; successful corruption permits data alteration, limited disclosure, and device interruption.
