ARM Mali GPU Kernel Driver < r39p0 Use After Free (CVE-2022-33917)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 178135

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has a driver that is affected by a use-after-free error.

Description

The version of the Mali GPU Kernel Driver installed on the remote system is prior to r39p0 running on Valhall architecture. It is, therefore affected by a use-after-free error. A non-privileged user can make improper GPU processing operations to gain access to already freed memory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Mali GPU Kernel Driver r39p0 or later.
