CVE-2026-24073: CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
Memory corruption when processing decode statistics due to insufficient validation of offset against structure size.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-24073 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write) affecting Qualcomm Snapdragon products. The flaw arises from insufficient validation of an offset against the size of a structure when processing decode statistics, leading to memory corruption. This can potentially allow an attacker with limited privileges to cause significant impact on the device's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8, indicating high severity, with attack vector local, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and unchanged scope.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can result in memory corruption, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or cause denial of service. The CVSS score of 7.8 reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, 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. No official fix or patch links are provided in the available data. Until a patch is available, limit local access to affected devices and monitor for unusual behavior.
