Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The adreno_perfcounter_query_group function in the Adreno GPU driver for Linux kernel 3.x uses an incorrect integer data type, which may lead to denial of service through integer overflow, heap-based buffer overflow, and incorrect memory allocation.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service, potentially affecting system availability and stability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Adreno GPU driver to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and to monitor the system for unauthorized ioctl calls.
