Executive brief
A Qualcomm system component fails to validate the data type of registry values before processing them, leading to memory corruption. An attacker who can write to the system registry could trigger this vulnerability to crash the affected component or potentially execute arbitrary code, impacting system stability and security.
Technical details
This vulnerability involves memory corruption triggered by incorrect type handling when processing registry values through a direct query method. The affected component does not properly validate that registry entries match their expected data type before use, allowing an attacker to supply a registry value of an incorrect type. Exploitation requires local write access to the system registry. Successful exploitation could lead to crashes or potentially arbitrary code execution depending on the memory layout and attacker control over the malformed data.
