Technical details
A memory corruption vulnerability (CWE-119) exists in the Imagination Technologies GPU Driver Development Kit (DDK) due to improper restriction of operations within memory buffer bounds. A local, non-privileged attacker can execute specific GPU system calls that trigger unauthorized write operations on restricted internal GPU buffers. This can be leveraged to achieve arbitrary physical memory writes, including pages allocated to the kernel or other drivers. The vulnerability is addressed in DDK versions following 25.2 RTM.
