Affected by this issue is an unknown part of the component NPU Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Memory corruption while running NPU, when NETWORK_UNLOAD and (NETWORK_UNLOAD or NETWORK_EXECUTE_V2) commands are submitted at the same time.

The weakness was released 01/02/2024. The advisory is shared for download at qualcomm.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2023-33114 since 05/17/2023. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability.
