Description
Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls causing a stack overflow in the kernel. The overflow occurs when processing resolved Linux/Android fence synchronization checkpoints, while user checkpoints are excluded from the stack array. Successful exploitation can cause kernel memory corruption and typically results in a denial-of-service condition through a kernel crash.



The code vulnerability is a buffer write beyond the allocated array on the stack caused by copying excessive data from an internal buffer.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a stack buffer overflow caused by an undersized UFO address array when the driver processes resolved Linux or Android fence synchronization checkpoints. The internal copy of data writes beyond the allocated stack array, leading to illegal kernel memory writes. The resulting corruption typically crashes the kernel, causing a denial‑of‑service. The weakness follows the characteristics of Stack Buffer Overflow (CWE‑121).

Affected Systems

Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK is the affected product. No specific version information is provided, so any releases including the Vulnerable GPU DDK code are potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

Exploitability is likely local, requiring an attacker to run software that invokes GPU system calls as a non‑privileged user. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so community exploitation data is limited. However, the CVSS base score, which indicates high severity, suggests that an attacker who can trigger the overflow will obtain a kernel crash, effectively denying service to the system. Given the limited public evidence, the risk remains high until a vendor patch is applied.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Check the Imagination Technologies website for the latest Graphics DDK update that addresses this buffer overflow and apply it immediately.
  • Limit use of the GPU DDK API to privileged users only; configure the system so that unprivileged processes cannot invoke the vulnerable driver functions.
  • Run the system with enforcement profiles such as SELinux or AppArmor to restrict GPU driver access by non‑privileged applications and mitigate potential kernel corruption.
