Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF, in the audio_aio_ion_lookup_vaddr function, the buffer length provided by the user is used to validate if the buffer is within the valid region. If the buffer length is large enough, the address + length operation could overflow and produce a result far below the valid region.

Risk Assessment

Buffer overflow may lead to unauthorized memory access, posing a risk to the integrity and confidentiality of data in Android-based systems.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update systems to the latest versions that address this vulnerability and to implement additional input validation mechanisms.
