CVE-2026-21374: CWE-126 Buffer Over-read in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
Memory Corruption when processing auxiliary sensor input/output control commands with insufficient buffer size validation.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-21374) involves a buffer over-read (CWE-126) in Qualcomm Snapdragon devices when handling auxiliary sensor I/O control commands without proper buffer size validation. This can cause memory corruption, potentially impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected devices. The issue affects numerous Snapdragon platforms and related hardware components. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.8 (high), with attack vector local, low attack complexity, requiring low privileges and no user interaction. The vulnerability is published and assigned by Qualcomm but lacks an official remediation level or patch information.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to memory corruption, which may result in unauthorized disclosure of information, modification of data, or denial of service on affected Snapdragon devices. The CVSS score indicates high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, no known exploits are currently reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or remediation level is provided, users and administrators should monitor Qualcomm's advisories for updates. No specific mitigations are documented at this time.
