CVE-2026-24081: CWE-126 Buffer Over-read in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
Transient DOS when processing a channel map with insufficient used channels and adaptive frequency hopping is fully enabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a buffer over-read condition in Qualcomm Snapdragon devices triggered during the processing of a channel map that has insufficient used channels when adaptive frequency hopping is fully enabled. The flaw can cause a transient denial of service, impacting availability but not confidentiality or integrity. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.4, reflecting high severity with attack vector as adjacent network, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and scope changed. The issue affects numerous specific Snapdragon versions as enumerated in the affectedVersions list.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability results in a transient denial of service condition, which can disrupt device availability temporarily. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. 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 patch or workaround information is provided, monitor Qualcomm's official advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, consider disabling adaptive frequency hopping if feasible as a potential temporary mitigation, but only if confirmed safe by the vendor.
