CVE-2025-47408: CWE-822 Untrusted Pointer Dereference in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
Memory corruption when another driver calls an IOCTL with invalid input/output buffer.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2025-47408) involves a memory corruption issue classified as CWE-822 (Untrusted Pointer Dereference) in Qualcomm Snapdragon components. It arises when an IOCTL call from another driver provides invalid input or output buffers, leading to unsafe pointer dereferencing. Affected products include a broad range of Snapdragon platforms such as FastConnect 6200/6900/7800, IQX5121, SD865 5G, Snapdragon 7c Compute Platforms, Snapdragon XR2 platforms, and various WCD and WSA components. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates local attack vector with low complexity, requiring low privileges but no user interaction, and results in high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patch or official remediation has been published yet.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to memory corruption, which may allow an attacker with local access and low privileges to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system components. This could result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, system instability, or denial of service conditions. However, there are no known exploits in the wild currently.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, limit local access to trusted users and monitor for suspicious activity related to IOCTL calls. Avoid running untrusted drivers or software that could invoke the vulnerable IOCTL interface.
