Memory corruption via incorrect IOCTL type conversion
Published Apr 7, 2025 · Updated Apr 7, 2025
Memory corruption in Qualcomm Snapdragon firmware allows local users with low privileges to compromise device memory through IOCTL calls. The affected IOCTL handler incorrectly converts or casts caller-controlled values while processing requests, corrupting memory; Qualcomm has not disclosed the specific function or data type. Successful exploitation requires local low-privilege access and no user interaction, and can expose or alter protected data or crash the device.
