Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver

CVE-2024-4610

Arm Bifrost and Valhall GPU kernel drivers contain a use-after-free vulnerability that allows a local, non-privileged user to make improper GPU memory processing operations to gain access to already freed memory.

What this means for your business

  • It affects Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
  • Attackers are already using it. CISA added it to its list of flaws used in real attacks on 12 June 2024.
  • FIRST's prediction model gives it a 0.8% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 53% of all known flaws.

What to do

  1. 1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver.
  2. 2If you do, follow CISA's required action below. No patch reference has been published yet.
  3. 3Treat it as urgent. US federal agencies must fix it by 3 July 2024. That deadline does not apply to private companies, but it shows how seriously CISA takes it.
  4. 4Because attackers have used it, check the affected systems for signs of a break-in, not only for the update.
