Qualcomm’s Patch Party: Adreno GPU Vulnerabilities Get the Boot!
Qualcomm has rolled out security patches for three zero-day vulnerabilities in the Adreno GPU driver, thwarting cyber baddies targeting dozens of chipsets. These critical and high-severity flaws were reported earlier this year and can lead to memory corruption. Qualcomm urges immediate patch deployment to keep devices safe from exploitation.
Hot Take:
In the ever-evolving saga of cybersecurity, Qualcomm has once again played the role of the reluctant hero, rushing to patch up some dastardly zero-day vulnerabilities in its Adreno GPU drivers. It’s like a high-stakes game of whack-a-mole, where the moles are hackers, and the hammer is a software patch. But hey, at least they’re keeping things exciting! Who needs action-packed movies when you’ve got real-life exploits being thwarted right before your eyes?
Key Points:
- Qualcomm patched three zero-day vulnerabilities in the Adreno GPU driver.
- Two critical flaws reported by Google Android Security team, one high-severity found in March.
- Vulnerabilities involve incorrect authorization and use-after-free issues.
- Google’s Threat Analysis Group indicates active exploitation of these vulnerabilities.
- Qualcomm also fixed a zero-day exploited in Serbia and more historical chipset issues.
