Use After Free vulnerability in Arm Ltd Bifrost GPU Userspace Driver, Arm Ltd Valhall GPU Userspace Driver, Arm Ltd Arm 5th Gen GPU Architecture Userspace Driver allows a non-privileged user process to perform valid GPU processing operations, including via WebGL or WebGPU, to access already freed memory.
This issue affects Bifrost GPU Userspace Driver: from r42p0 through r49p5, from r50p0 through r51p0, from r54p1 through r54p3; Valhall GPU Userspace Driver: from r42p0 through r49p5, from r50p0 through r54p3, r55p0; Arm 5th Gen GPU Architecture Userspace Driver: from r42p0 through r49p5, from r50p0 through r54p3, r55p0.
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free memory corruption in Arm's Bifrost, Valhall, and 5th Gen GPU userspace drivers allows a local non-privileged process - including through browser-exposed WebGL or WebGPU operations - to access already-freed memory regions, achieving full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The flaw spans driver revisions from r42p0 through r55p0 across all three GPU families, covering a substantial portion of the Android Mali GPU ecosystem deployed in MediaTek and Samsung Exynos SoCs. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The target device must have an Arm Bifrost, Valhall, or 5th Gen GPU with a userspace driver revision within the affected ranges (r42p0-r51p0 or r54p1-r54p3 for Bifrost; r42p0-r54p3 or r55p0 for Valhall and 5th Gen). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.8 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately reflects local exploitation by an unprivileged process with no user interaction required, and the C:H/I:H/A:H impact cluster indicates potential arbitrary memory read/write and code execution within the affected process context. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary fix is to upgrade to a patched driver revision; the Arm security advisory at https://support.arm.com/documentation/111552/1-0/?lang=en should be consulted for exact fixed revision numbers, as the provided data specifies only affected ranges (no explicit fixed version was extractable from the input). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
