ARM Mali Kernel Driver buffer overflow

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2022-46396. Local access is required to approach this attack. No exploit exists. The affected component should be upgraded.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in ARM Mali Kernel Driver (Hardware Driver Software) (the affected version unknown) and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown part. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a buffer overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-120. The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

An issue was discovered in the Arm Mali Kernel Driver. A non-privileged user can make improper GPU memory processing operations to access a limited amount outside of buffer bounds. This affects Valhall r29p0 through r41p0 before r42p0 and Avalon r41p0 before r42p0.

The weakness was disclosed 04/12/2023. The advisory is available at developer.arm.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2022-46396 since 12/04/2022. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.
