Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-121 and the CVSS impact.
Summary
Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK versions 1.18 RTM2, 23.2 RTM2, 24.2 RTM2, 26.1 RTM2 and 25.1 RTM2 through 25.3 RTM are affected. Copying excessive data from an internal buffer into a stack array overflows it while processing resolved Linux/Android fence checkpoints (CWE-121). A local user with low privileges can make improper GPU system calls to corrupt kernel memory, which typically crashes the kernel and causes a denial of service.

Description from the CNA
Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls causing a stack overflow in the kernel. The overflow occurs when processing resolved Linux/Android fence synchronization checkpoints, while user checkpoints are excluded from the stack array. Successful exploitation can cause kernel memory corruption and typically results in a denial-of-service condition through a kernel crash. The code vulnerability is a buffer write beyond the allocated array on the stack caused by copying excessive data from an internal buffer.
