## Technical details

A memory corruption vulnerability, specifically identified as a NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476), occurs in Qualcomm firmware during secure data initialization. The flaw is triggered by heap memory exhaustion, which leads the system to attempt writes to invalid memory locations. An attacker with local low-privileged access can exploit this to cause a denial-of-service (system crash) or achieve arbitrary code execution within a privileged context. The vulnerability was disclosed in the June 2026 Qualcomm Security Bulletin.
