## Technical details

The IMG_vkCreateImageView function in image_view.c is vulnerable to use-after-free due to memory corruption, which can be triggered remotely to achieve code execution. The vulnerability requires no additional execution privileges and does not need user interaction for exploitation. This is a memory safety issue in the Vulkan graphics API implementation within PowerVR GPU drivers.
