Memory corruption via GPU page-table switching
Published Nov 4, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2024
Buffer overflow in Qualcomm Snapdragon Graphics Linux firmware allows local users to corrupt memory during a GPU page-table switch. Qualcomm identifies an unchecked buffer copy in the page-table-switch path but does not disclose the affected function, copied input, or missing boundary check. Local low-privilege access is required, and successful exploitation can compromise data confidentiality and integrity or interrupt the device.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
