DescriptionCVE.org

A web page that contains unusual WebGPU content loaded into the GPU GLES render process and can trigger an out-of-bound write in the GPU user-space driver, leading to memory corruption and possible browser/GPU process crash.

The software computes a required memory size from untrusted input, but integer overflow can produce a value smaller than needed. Subsequent write operations may then occur past the intended memory boundary, corrupting adjacent memory and causing process instability or termination.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds write in the Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK (GPU user-space driver) can be triggered when a victim loads a web page containing crafted WebGPU content into the GLES GPU render process, corrupting memory and crashing the browser or GPU process. The flaw stems from an integer overflow in size calculation driven by untrusted input, which produces an undersized allocation that subsequent writes exceed. EPSS exploitation probability is very low at 0.02% (5th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability lives in the Imagination Technologies Graphics Device Driver Kit (DDK), specifically the user-space portion of the GPU driver stack that handles GLES rendering. WebGPU content rendered by the browser is dispatched to this driver, where untrusted size inputs feed an arithmetic computation. The root cause class is CWE-787 (out-of-bounds write), reached through an integer overflow during memory-size calculation - a classic 'too-small allocation followed by full-size write' pattern. Affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:imagination_technologies:graphics_ddk where Imagination's PowerVR-family drivers are widely embedded in mobile SoCs and other GPU-accelerated devices, meaning the bug surfaces wherever the DDK's GLES/WebGPU path is reachable.

RemediationAI

Patch availability is not explicitly stated in the input - treat as patch available per vendor advisory and consult https://www.imaginationtech.com/gpu-driver-vulnerabilities/ for the specific fixed DDK build matching your platform (no exact fix version was supplied, so do not assume one). Because the DDK is delivered through SoC vendors and device OEMs, end-user remediation typically requires an OS/firmware update from the device manufacturer rather than a direct driver swap. Compensating controls while waiting for a vendor build: disable WebGPU in the browser (e.g. set dom.webgpu.enabled=false in Firefox or the equivalent chrome://flags toggle), at the cost of losing WebGPU-accelerated content; restrict browsing on affected devices to trusted sites via policy or DNS filtering, accepting reduced user freedom; and where feasible force GLES rendering off the affected code path by disabling hardware acceleration, which will increase CPU load and battery use.
