Qualcomm Quashes Quad of Quirky Vulnerabilities: Security Update Comedy of Errors!
Qualcomm shipped security updates addressing three zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in limited, targeted attacks. These vulnerabilities, discovered by Google’s Android Security team, affect the Adreno GPU drivers and could lead to memory corruption. Qualcomm urges OEMs to deploy patches promptly, but details on the exploitation remain under wraps.
Hot Take:
Qualcomm’s response to these zero-day vulnerabilities is akin to locking the barn door after the horse has bolted, but at least they’re providing a shiny new lock! With three zero-day vulnerabilities identified, it’s a race against time for OEMs to patch up their devices before the cyber bandits make off with the loot. Here’s hoping they can prevent their GPUs from becoming the graphics equivalent of Swiss cheese.
Key Points:
- Qualcomm has released updates to address three zero-day vulnerabilities.
- These vulnerabilities affect the Graphics component, specifically the Adreno GPU drivers.
- The flaws have been reported by Google’s Android Security team.
- The vulnerabilities have been exploited in limited, targeted attacks.
- Patches for these vulnerabilities were distributed to OEMs in May.
