VAR-201402-0145

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-11 22:53

The CONFIG_STRICT_MEMORY_RWX implementation for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, does not properly consider certain memory sections, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging the presence of RWX memory at a fixed location. There is a security bypass vulnerability in the camera driver provided by Code Aurora. There is a problem with the CONFIG_STRICT_MEMORY_RWX implementation on the Linux kernel 3.x used by the Code Aurora device. When CONFIG_STRICT_MEMORY_RWX is set, the first segment of memory (including the kernel page table and initial code) and the segment containing the init code are set with RWX permissions. Allows an attacker to provide fixed-location read and write, execute content to bypass security restrictions, and more easily perform kernel exploits. This may aid in further attacks. Android for MSM is an Android MSM project, the main purpose of this project is to build an Android platform that includes Qualcomm MSM chipset. There is a security vulnerability in the implementation of the CONFIG_STRICT_MEMORY_RWX function of the Linux kernel version 3.10 used in QuIC Android contributions for MSM devices. The vulnerability stems from the fact that the program does not manage memory correctly

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

    Related by attack behaviour

    Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
