CVE-2026-21376: CWE-126 Buffer Over-read in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
Memory Corruption when accessing an output buffer without validating its size during IOCTL processing in a camera sensor driver.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-21376) is a buffer over-read (CWE-126) occurring in Qualcomm Snapdragon devices' camera sensor driver. It arises when the driver accesses an output buffer without validating its size during IOCTL processing, leading to memory corruption. Affected products include a wide range of Snapdragon platforms and related hardware components. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting local attack vector with low complexity and privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no vendor advisory indicating an official fix or mitigation at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to memory corruption, potentially allowing an attacker with local access and limited privileges to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device. The high CVSS score reflects the severity of impact if exploited. 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 temporary mitigation is currently documented, affected users should monitor Qualcomm's advisories for updates. Until a patch is available, limiting local access to trusted users and minimizing exposure to untrusted applications may reduce risk.
