Mali GPU Kernel Driver Allows Improper GPU Memory Processing Operations

LOW 21CWE-416Published 2023-10-03 · Updated 2025-03-07

Key facts

Attack vector: Local
Privileges required: Low
User interaction: None
Attack complexity: High
Impact type: Denial of service
Confidentiality · integrity · availability: None · None · High
Fix status: Fixed

Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-416 and the CVSS impact.

Summary

A local non-privileged user can make improper GPU processing operations to exploit a software race condition. If the system’s memory is carefully prepared by the user, then this in turn could give them access to already freed memory.
