> CVE-2021-25467: Kernel LPE in the Vision DSP Kernel Driver

[SOURCE] Taszk Labs [DATE: 14/12/2021 00:00] [LANGUAGE: EN]
There is a kernel virtual memory mapped IO buffer overflow vulnerability in the vision DSP kernel driver of S20 Exynos devices. The vulnerability could potentially be used by a malicious system application to compromise the kernel and gain further privileges. The vulnerability is only triggerable via compromised system applications due to a second access control bypass issue. In addition to achieving code execution in the kernel, the access control bypass issue itself may also be used by compromised system applications to directly take complete control over the DSP device itself. Vulnerability Details The Exynos DSP driver implements an ioctl call that allows applications to upload a custom model (graph) for the dsp device.
