CVE-2025-59610: CWE-367 Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
CVE-2025-59610 is a medium severity vulnerability in Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms involving a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition. The flaw arises from memory corruption when processing IOCTL requests with mismatched API versions due to concurrent modification of a user-space buffer. This affects a wide range of Qualcomm Snapdragon products and platforms. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided by the vendor at this time, and there are no known exploits in the wild.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2025-59610) is a TOCTOU race condition categorized under CWE-367 affecting Qualcomm Snapdragon products. It occurs during the processing of IOCTL requests when there is a mismatch in API versions, leading to concurrent modification of a user-space buffer and resulting in memory corruption. The issue impacts numerous Snapdragon platforms and related hardware components. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), with attack vector local, high attack complexity, requiring high privileges, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to memory corruption, potentially allowing an attacker with local high privileges to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The vulnerability requires local access and high privileges, limiting the attack surface. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, limit access to affected devices to trusted users with appropriate privileges and monitor for any unusual activity related to IOCTL request handling. Avoid using mismatched API versions in IOCTL requests where possible.
