Local memory corruption via camera I2C race
Published Jun 3, 2025 · Updated Jun 3, 2025
A TOCTOU race in the Qualcomm Snapdragon camera driver allows local users to corrupt memory while processing I2C settings. Qualcomm identifies I2C-settings processing as the affected locus but has not published the checked resource, racing operation, or a patch diff. Low-privilege local access is required; successful exploitation can alter protected state, disclose limited data, and interrupt operation.
