HIGH 7.8

DescriptionCVE.org

Memory corruption while processing INIT and multimode invoke IOCTL calls on FastRPC.

AnalysisAI

Memory corruption vulnerability in Qualcomm's FastRPC implementation that affects local privilege escalation through malformed INIT and multimode invoke IOCTL calls. An attacker with local access and basic user privileges can trigger memory corruption to achieve code execution with elevated privileges, potentially compromising system integrity and confidentiality. The vulnerability carries a CVSS 7.8 score indicating high severity, though exploitation requires local access and authenticated session context.

Technical ContextAI

FastRPC (Fast Remote Procedure Call) is a Qualcomm proprietary inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism used extensively in Snapdragon chipsets for communication between ARM processors and Qualcomm's Hexagon Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). The vulnerability exists in the kernel-space FastRPC driver's IOCTL handler, specifically in processing INIT and multimode invoke commands. The root cause is CWE-367 (Time-of-check Time-of-use Race Condition), indicating a race condition where validation checks on IOCTL parameters occur at different times than when those parameters are actually used, allowing an attacker to modify memory between validation and use. This affects Qualcomm SDM, SM, and MSM chipset families where FastRPC is the primary DSP communication interface. The vulnerability manifests in the kernel FastRPC subsystem (typically located at /dev/adsprpc-smd) which handles both synchronous and asynchronous RPC invocations.

RemediationAI

Immediate mitigation: (1) Apply kernel security patches from Qualcomm/OEM vendor (check device security bulletin for January 2025 or later); (2) On Android, ensure device is running latest security patch level; (3) Restrict shell access and local account creation on affected devices; (4) Monitor for suspicious FastRPC IOCTL calls via audit logs if available. Long-term fix: Patch must serialize IOCTL validation and execution using proper synchronization primitives (mutexes around parameter validation and dereferencing). Workarounds if patch unavailable: Disable FastRPC subsystem entirely (breaks DSP functionality—not practical), or use LSM/SELinux policies to restrict /dev/adsprpc-smd access to trusted processes only.
