CVE-2024-45565

Kernel memory corruption via mutable blob race

Published May 6, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Memory corruption in the Qualcomm Snapdragon camera driver allows local users with low privileges to corrupt kernel memory via a shared blob race. The kernel verifies a user-space blob structure, then consumes the same mutable structure without ensuring it stayed unchanged, allowing modification between validation and use. Successful exploitation requires local low-privileged access on an affected Snapdragon Wearables device and compromises kernel confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
