VLAI
Details
Kernel software from a non-secure operating system on a platform with Trusted Execution Environment support, may cause GPU Firmware to boot up using data from non-secure memory.
The GPU thread of control (Firmware) uses a pointer from non-secure memory belonging to the Rich Execution Environment (REE) when saving or retrieving internal data between the tightly coupled private memory to main memory. An attacker with control over the REE kernel may modify the pointer value, corrupting the data used by the GPU Firmware.

CAPEC-129: Pointer Manipulation
This attack pattern involves an adversary manipulating a pointer within a target application resulting in the application accessing an unintended memory location. This can result in the crashing of the application or, for certain pointer values, access to data that would not normally be possible or the execution of arbitrary code. Since pointers are simply integer variables, Integer Attacks may often be used in Pointer Attacks.
