CVE-2026-21369: CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
Memory Corruption when handling flash commands due to outdated LED count values being used after userspace modification.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-21369) is an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) in Qualcomm Snapdragon devices caused by memory corruption when processing flash commands. The root cause is the use of outdated LED count values after userspace modifications, leading to potential memory corruption. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium severity) with attack vector local, high attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, scope changed, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability rated low to low to low. Affected products include numerous specific Snapdragon chipsets identified by exact model numbers. There is no vendor advisory or patch information available at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to memory corruption resulting in potential impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device. The CVSS vector indicates local attack with high complexity and low privileges, suggesting exploitation is not trivial and requires local access. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or mitigation is documented, users and administrators should monitor Qualcomm advisories for updates. No specific workaround or temporary fix is currently available.
