CVE-2024-53034

Memory corruption via invalid DSP_Services Escape handles

Published Mar 3, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Memory corruption in Qualcomm Snapdragon DSP_Services allows local users to compromise affected devices through a crafted Escape call. DSP_Services processes invalid Kernel Mode CPU event and synchronization-object handles while DriverKnownEscape is cleared, causing untrusted pointer dereferences. Low-privileged local access is required; successful exploitation can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability without user interaction.
