Command injection

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, while processing a vendor sub-command, a buffer over-read can occur...

Buffer overflow

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, an output buffer is accessed in one thread and can be potentially freed in another...

Out-of-bounds

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, out of bounds access is possible in cshow, due to compathwcapstr not being NULL-terminated. This error is not fatal, however the device might crash/reboot with memory violation/out of bounds access...

CVE-2017-10996

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, out of bounds access is possible in cshow, due to compathwcapstr not being NULL-terminated. This error is not fatal, however the device might crash/reboot with memory violation/out of bounds access...

CVE-2017-9677

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, in function msmcomprioctlshared, variable "ddp-paramslength" could be accessed and modified by multiple threads, while it is not protected with locks. If one thread is running, while another thread is setting data, ra...

Memory corruption

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, using a debugfs node, a write to a PCIe register can cause corruption of kernel memory...

Out-of-bounds

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, in an ISP Camera kernel driver function, an incorrect bounds check may potentially lead to an out-of-bounds write...

Information disclosure

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, when reading from sysfs nodes, one can read more information than it is allowed to...

Design/Logic Flaw

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, in the function msmdbaregisterclient, if the client registers failed, it would be freed. However the client was not removed from list. Use-after-free would occur when traversing the list next time...

CVE-2017-8251

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, in functions msmispcheckstreamcfgcmd & msmispstatsupdatecgcoverride, 'streamcfgcmd-numstreams' is not checked, and could overflow the array streamcfgcmd-streamhandle...

CVE-2017-9724

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, user-level permissions can be used to gain access to kernel memory, specifically the ION cache maintenance code is writing to a user supplied address...

Race condition

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, during the wlan calibration data store and retrieve operation, there are some potential race conditions which lead to a memory leak and a buffer overflow during the context switch...

CVE-2017-11041

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, an output buffer is accessed in one thread and can be potentially freed in another...

CVE-2017-8247

In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, if there is more than one thread doing the device open operation, the device may be opened more than once. This would lead to getpid being called more than once, however putpid being called only once in function...
