CVE-2025-47322

7.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows attackers to cause memory corruption through improper handling of IOCTL calls when setting modes. Successful exploitation could lead to privilege escalation or denial of service. This affects systems using Qualcomm components with vulnerable drivers.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Qualcomm chipsets with vulnerable drivers
Versions: Specific versions not detailed in reference, check Qualcomm advisory
Operating Systems: Android, Linux-based systems using Qualcomm drivers
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects systems with Qualcomm hardware and corresponding vulnerable driver implementations

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Local attacker gains kernel-level privileges leading to complete system compromise

🟠

Likely Case

Local privilege escalation allowing unauthorized access to system resources

🟢

If Mitigated

Denial of service through system crash or instability

🌐 Internet-Facing: LOW - Requires local access to vulnerable driver interface
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal users with local access could exploit this vulnerability

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: MEDIUM

Requires local access and ability to make IOCTL calls to vulnerable driver

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Check Qualcomm December 2025 security bulletin

Vendor Advisory: https://docs.qualcomm.com/product/publicresources/securitybulletin/december-2025-bulletin.html

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check Qualcomm advisory for affected chipset/driver versions. 2. Apply vendor-provided firmware/driver updates. 3. Reboot system to load patched driver.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Restrict driver access

linux

Limit access to vulnerable driver interface using permissions

chmod 600 /dev/vulnerable_driver_device

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict access controls to limit which users can interact with driver interfaces
  • Monitor for unusual IOCTL calls or driver access patterns

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check Qualcomm chipset/driver version against advisory

Check Version:

cat /proc/version or check device firmware version

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify driver version has been updated to patched version

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual IOCTL calls to driver interfaces
  • System crashes or kernel panics

Network Indicators:
