CVE-2026-24083: CWE-822 Untrusted Pointer Dereference in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
Memory Corruption while processing IOCTL device driver requests with invalid arguments.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a memory corruption issue caused by untrusted pointer dereference in Qualcomm Snapdragon QCA6696. It occurs during the processing of IOCTL device driver requests that contain invalid arguments. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with low attack complexity and requiring low privileges but local access. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could result in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device due to memory corruption. The attacker requires local access with low privileges and no user interaction is needed. The vulnerability could allow execution of arbitrary code or system crashes.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, limit local access to trusted users and monitor for unusual device behavior related to IOCTL requests.
