ARM Mali GPU Kernel Driver < r44p1 Improper Memory Access (CVE-2023-33200)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 182433

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has a driver that is affected by an improper memory access vulnerability.

Description

The version of the Mali GPU Kernel Driver installed on the remote system is prior to r44p1 or r45p0 running on Bifrost, Valhall or 5th Gen architecture. It is, therefore affected by a improper memory access vulnerability. A local non-privileged user can make improper GPU processing operations to exploit a software race condition. If the system’s memory is carefully prepared by the user, then this in turn could give them 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 r44p1, r45p0 or later.
