Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls to cause OOB read kernel memory access and in certain cases cause GPU UAF of arbitrary pages.
Incorrect validation of array index can lead to OOB read and potentially to GPU UAF of arbitrary pages.
Kernel software installed and running inside a Host VM may post improper commands to the GPU Firmware to trigger a memory write outside the permitted range of memory for the host kernel.
A TOCTOU bug existed where a malicious driver could modify values in memory after firmware validation but before use.
Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct a sequence of improper GPU system calls causing use after free, which helps in facilitating unprivileged memory access from a shader code.
Triggering failure path in the MMU mapping logic by a malicious code could lead to incomplete cleanup of an internal driver state, allowing for future unauthorized access to the contents of the physical memory.
Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may cause OOB kernel memory reads or writes through GPU API calls.
When indexing pages larger than 4kB in the page freeing logic of the sparse memory implementation, incorrect buffer indexing leads to OOB access.
A web page that contains unusual GPU shader code is loaded into the GPU compiler process and can trigger a write out-of-bounds write crash in the GPU shader compiler library. On certain platforms, when the compiler process has system privileges this could enable further exploits on the device.
An edge case using a very small value in GPU shader code can cause a segmentation fault in the GPU shader compiler due to am out-of-bounds write.
A web page that contains unusual GPU shader code is loaded from the Internet into the GPU compiler process triggers a write use-after-free crash in the GPU shader compiler library. On certain platforms, when the compiler process has system privileges this could enable further exploits on the device.
The shader code contained in the web page executes a path in the compiler that held onto an out of date pointer, pointing to a freed memory object.
