HIGH 8.4

DescriptionNVD

Memory corruption can occur if an already verified IFS2 image is overwritten, bypassing boot verification. This allows unauthorized programs to be injected into security-sensitive images, enabling the booting of a tampered IFS2 system image.

AnalysisAI

Memory corruption can occur if an already verified IFS2 image is overwritten, bypassing boot verification. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.4), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. Memory corruption can occur if an already verified IFS2 image is overwritten, bypassing boot verification. This allows unauthorized programs to be injected into security-sensitive images, enabling the booting of a tampered IFS2 system image. Affected products include: Qualcomm Msm8996Au Firmware, Qualcomm Qam8255P Firmware, Qualcomm Qam8295P Firmware, Qualcomm Qam8620P Firmware, Qualcomm Qam8650P Firmware.

RemediationAI

No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
