CVE-2024-38414

Information disclosure via firmware buffer over-read

Published Feb 3, 2025 · Updated Feb 3, 2025

Buffer over-read in Qualcomm Snapdragon firmware allows local users with low privileges to disclose information during core initialization. The published record identifies the locus as Computer Vision firmware-image processing but does not disclose the buffer operation or field read past its boundary. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and no user interaction; the disclosed outcome is exposure of information during initialization.
