Memory corruption while processing multiple IOCTL command for escape operations.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms is possible through memory corruption when processing multiple IOCTL commands for escape operations. The flaw, reported by Qualcomm in its June 2026 security bulletin, affects Snapdragon graphics/driver components and can be triggered by a low-privileged local user to achieve high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local code execution on a Qualcomm Snapdragon device with the ability to open the affected driver's device node and issue IOCTL escape commands (PR:L, AV:L) - typically achievable from an unprivileged app or shell on Android/embedded Snapdragon platforms. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H scores 7.8 (High) and describes local exploitation by a low-privileged attacker with no user interaction, yielding full CIA impact - characteristic of a local privilege escalation rather than a remote attack. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A malicious Android application installed with standard permissions, or an attacker who has obtained an unprivileged local shell on a Snapdragon-based device, opens the affected Qualcomm driver device node and issues a crafted sequence of multiple escape IOCTL commands. The resulting out-of-bounds write corrupts kernel memory in a controlled way, allowing the attacker to elevate from low-privilege user context to kernel or system privileges and fully compromise the device. …
Remediation Patch available per vendor advisory - apply the fixes referenced in the Qualcomm June 2026 security bulletin (https://docs.qualcomm.com/product/publicresources/securitybulletin/june-2026-bulletin.html) once they are integrated by the device OEM, since Snapdragon driver fixes typically reach end users via Android monthly security patch levels or OEM firmware updates rather than directly from Qualcomm. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

24 hours: Inventory all Snapdragon-based devices in your environment and identify affected OS/firmware versions; contact device manufacturers and Qualcomm for patched firmware availability and ETA. …
