Qualcomm’s Zero-Day Drama: Three Exploits Busted, But Who’s Behind the Curtain?

Qualcomm fixed three zero-days that were exploited in limited, targeted attacks. If you thought your smartphone was safe, think again! Google’s Android Security team reported these vulnerabilities, and the company recommends patching up like you’re preparing for a tech apocalypse. Better safe than sorry—or in this case, exploited!

Hot Take:

Qualcomm’s on a roll, folks! Instead of letting hackers play with their GPUs like it’s a free-for-all amusement park, they’ve closed the gates on three juicy zero-day exploits. This isn’t just patchwork; it’s Qualcomm’s way of saying, “We’re not just chips; we’re the whole dip!”

Key Points:

  • Qualcomm patched three zero-day vulnerabilities reported by Google Android Security.
  • The vulnerabilities affected the Adreno GPU driver and involved incorrect authorization and use-after-free issues.
  • These flaws were under limited, targeted exploitation in the wild.
  • Patches were distributed to OEMs in May with urgent deployment recommendations.
  • Historical context includes a similar zero-day issue, CVE-2024-43047, from late 2024.
