CVE-2023-48421
Mali GPU Out-of-Bounds Write Privilege Escalation
Description
In gpu_pixel_handle_buffer_liveness_update_ioctl of private/google-modules/gpu/mali_kbase/platform/pixel/pixel_gpu_slc.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to improper input validation. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
