Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-416 | The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a Use After Free issue in several Arm GPU Kernel Drivers (Bifrost, Valhall, and Arm 5th Gen GPU Architecture). It allows a local non-privileged user process to perform valid GPU memory operations that access memory which has already been freed, potentially leading to unintended behavior or exploitation.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability could allow a local non-privileged user to access freed memory through GPU operations, which may lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, system instability, or escalation of privileges depending on how the freed memory is used or manipulated.
