Technical details

A Time-of-Check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition (CWE-367) exists in Qualcomm chipset firmware during the processing of IOCTL requests. The vulnerability is triggered when there is a mismatch in API versions and a concurrent modification of the user-space buffer occurs during processing. A local attacker with high privileges can exploit this race condition to cause memory corruption. This can lead to a complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C/I/A) on the affected system. The attack complexity is high due to the precise timing required to modify the buffer between the check and use phases.
