7.8 HIGH

IOCTL-driven memory corruption needs local code execution via a driver interface, so AV:L and PR:L; low complexity and full C/I/A impact from a controllable out-of-bounds write.

DescriptionCVE.org

Memory corruption while processing IOCTL call to get the mapping.

AnalysisAI

An out-of-bounds write in Qualcomm firmware/driver code that handles an IOCTL call for retrieving a memory mapping affects FastConnect 6900 and 7800 connectivity chips, QCC2072, SC8380XP, and the WCD9378C, WCD9380, WCD9385, WSA8840, WSA8845 and WSA8845H audio components, allowing a locally present attacker holding low privileges to corrupt memory and achieve full confidentiality, integrity and availability impact (CVSS 3.1 base 7.8; AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). The flaw is reachable only locally, so it is realistically a privilege-escalation primitive that presupposes an existing foothold (for example a malicious or compromised app) rather than a remotely exploitable initial-access vector; no user interaction or non-default configuration is required. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and exploitation activity is predicted to be very low (EPSS 0.09%, 0th percentile), with no CISA KEV listing.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerable component sits at the boundary where user-space code issues an IOCTL to firmware/driver code to obtain a memory mapping - a classic kernel/user-interface pattern in which the driver must validate the size, offset and destination of the requested mapping before copying data. CWE-787 (out-of-bounds write) is tagged alongside Buffer Overflow and Memory Corruption, indicating the handler fails to properly bound the write relative to the allocated buffer, corrupting adjacent memory. Because the issue lives in the IOCTL path, the attack surface is confined to code that can already make the appropriate device IOCTL invocation: the CVSS vector (AV:L, PR:L, UI:N) confirms a local, low-privileged caller and no user interaction, consistent with an unprivileged process escalating through a driver/firmware interface. The affected CPEs are firmware entries with no version qualifier for Qualcomm FastConnect 6900/7800, QCC2072, SC8380XP and multiple WCD/WSA audio codec parts, meaning the defect is shipped in the silicon-adjacent firmware/driver stack and must be remediated through the chipset software chain rather than by an application update alone. The specific IOCTL command code and driver interface are not disclosed in the available description.

RemediationAI

Qualcomm has published the October 2025 Security Bulletin (https://docs.qualcomm.com/product/publicresources/securitybulletin/october-2025-bulletin.html) as the vendor advisory for this issue, so patch availability is per that bulletin; because the affected components are chipset firmware and drivers, fixes reach end users only through OEM/ODM firmware images, Android/device vendor security updates or downstream BSP releases, and no standalone fixed version string is published for CVE-2025-47340 in the available data. Device owners should apply the OEM firmware or monthly security update that carries the corresponding Qualcomm patch and confirm the chipset patch level (e.g. Android security patch level) rather than assuming an OS-only update covers it. Where patching is delayed, the effective compensating controls target the local, low-privilege IOCTL path: restrict installation and execution of untrusted applications that can open the affected driver interface, keep the device bootloader locked and verified boot enabled so a foothold cannot persist, and where the platform supports it use SELinux/AppArmor or seccomp policy to deny unprivileged processes access to the relevant device nodes and IOCTL operations - noting that tightening these policies can break legitimate camera, audio, connectivity or diagnostic tooling that relies on the same interface. Because the vector is purely local (AV:L) with no network-reachable path, network-level filtering does not reduce this specific risk; the priority is physical/administrative control over what code runs on the device plus timely OEM firmware updates.
