Local memory corruption via GNSS HAL use-after-free
Published Nov 4, 2024 · Updated Nov 16, 2024
Use-after-free memory corruption in Qualcomm Snapdragon GNSS HAL allows local users to alter memory during process initialization. Qualcomm has not published the freed object, initialization code path, or input that causes the stale reference to be used. Low-privileged local access is required without user interaction, and successful exploitation can compromise data and interrupt the affected HAL process.
