ARM Mali GPU Kernel Driver < r24p0 / < r30p0 Use After Free (CVE-2022-28349)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 178132

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has a driver that is affected by a use-after-free error.

Description

The version of the Mali GPU Kernel Driver installed on the remote system is prior to r24p0 running on Bifrost or Valhall architecture or prior to r30p0 running on Midgard architecture. It is, therefore affected by a use-after-free error. A non-privileged user can obtain access to already freed memory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Mali GPU Kernel Driver r24p0, r30p0 or later.
