Kernel memory compromise via freed GPU memory access
Published Jun 7, 2024 · Updated Oct 21, 2025
Use-after-free in Arm Bifrost and Valhall GPU Kernel Drivers r34p0 through r40p0 allows local users to access freed GPU memory. The GPU memory-processing path permits operations to reference memory after the driver has released it, exposing stale contents and enabling memory corruption. Non-privileged local code is sufficient, and successful exploitation can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability in kernel context.
