CVE-2026-25266: CWE-749: Exposed Dangerous Method or Function in Qualcomm, Inc. Snapdragon
Memory corruption while processing IOCTL command when device is in power-save state.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-25266) involves memory corruption triggered by handling an IOCTL command during the device's power-save state in Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms. The flaw is categorized under CWE-749 (Exposed Dangerous Method or Function), indicating unsafe exposure of a function that can lead to memory corruption. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5 (medium), with local attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring low privileges, no user interaction, and impacts only availability. Affected products include a broad range of Snapdragon and related wireless connectivity components. As of the published date, no official remediation or patch is available.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can cause memory corruption leading to denial of service (availability impact) on affected Qualcomm Snapdragon devices when processing specific IOCTL commands in power-save mode. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official fix or mitigation level has been published, users and administrators should monitor Qualcomm's advisories for updates. Until a patch is available, limiting local access to vulnerable devices may reduce risk.
