Description
Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct a sequence of improper GPU system calls causing use after free, which helps in facilitating unprivileged memory access from a shader code.



Triggering failure path in the MMU mapping logic by a malicious code could lead to incomplete cleanup of an internal driver state, allowing for future unauthorized access to the contents of the physical memory.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw is a use‑after‑free in the Graphics DDK’s MMU mapping logic, allowing a non‑privileged user to trigger a sequence of malformed GPU system calls that causes incomplete cleanup of internal driver state. This permits the attacker to read the contents of physical memory through shader code. The weakness is identified as CWE‑459.

Affected Systems

Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK hardware drivers are affected. No specific version numbers are listed, so all releases lacking a vendor fix may be vulnerable. The flaw enables user‑mode GPU command execution.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.8 marks this vulnerability as high severity. The EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates a very low but non‑zero probability of exploitation. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is local, requiring the attacker to be a non‑privileged user who can submit GPU commands that trigger the use‑after‑free. Because exploitation requires only local user privileges and the flaw exploits incomplete driver cleanup, the risk remains high from a severity standpoint but mitigated by the low exploitation likelihood and absent public exploits.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK patch as soon as it is released.
  • Restrict or sandbox GPU command usage for non‑privileged users, or disable GPU access for such users if the driver permits.
  • Implement monitoring for abnormal GPU memory‑mapping or repeated UAF patterns and configure alerts for suspicious shader activity.
