Use After Free vulnerability in Arm Ltd Bifrost GPU Kernel Driver, Arm Ltd Valhall GPU Kernel Driver, Arm Ltd Arm 5th Gen GPU Architecture Kernel Driver allows a local non-privileged user process to perform valid GPU memory processing operations to access already freed memory.
This issue affects Bifrost GPU Kernel Driver: from r41p0 through r49p5, from r50p0 through r51p0, from r54p1 through r54p2; Valhall GPU Kernel Driver: from r41p0 through r49p5, from r50p0 through r54p3, r55p0; Arm 5th Gen GPU Architecture Kernel Driver: from r41p0 through r49p5, from r50p0 through r54p3, r55p0.
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in Arm's Bifrost, Valhall, and 5th Gen GPU kernel drivers allows a local unprivileged process to access already-freed GPU memory through valid GPU memory processing operations, resulting in limited confidentiality and integrity impact against the kernel driver. The flaw spans a wide range of driver versions across all three GPU architectures, affecting the enormous ecosystem of Android and embedded devices powered by Arm Mali GPUs. …
