A web page that contains unusual WebGPU content loaded into the GPU GLES render process can trigger a OOB read and/or write crash in the GPU GLES user-space shared library. On certain platforms, when the process executing graphics workload has system privileges this could enable further exploits on the device.
Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls causing a stack overflow in the kernel. The overflow occurs when processing resolved Linux/Android fence synchronization checkpoints, while user checkpoints are excluded from the stack array. Successful exploitation can cause kernel memory corruption and typically results in a denial-of-service condition through a kernel crash.
The code vulnerability is a buffer write beyond the allocated array on the stack caused by copying excessive data from an internal buffer.
Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls to trigger OOB access and kernel null pointer dereference in an error path.
Null pointer dereference occurs in an error path of a function running in kernel thread of execution leading to kernel exceptions, platform instability and denial of service.
