Guest-triggered memory corruption via keyboard device race
Published Mar 3, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
A TOCTOU race in Qualcomm Snapdragon Auto keyboard virtualization allows local users in a guest VM to corrupt memory. Qualcomm identifies the keyboard virtual device as the locus but does not disclose which checked object can change before its later use. Exploitation requires low-privilege local access from a guest VM; the public record does not state whether corruption causes a crash, code execution, or another outcome.
