Memory corruption via GPU command use-after-free
Published Nov 4, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2024
Use-after-free in Qualcomm Snapdragon Graphics Linux allows local users to corrupt memory by submitting crafted GPU commands. Qualcomm identifies the component and operation but has not published the freed object's identity or the incorrect lifetime-management sequence. Local low-privileged access is required, no user interaction is needed, and concrete post-corruption outcomes remain undisclosed.
