CVE-2024-43047
Qualcomm
CVE-2024-43047 is a memory corruption vulnerability found during the maintenance of HLOS memory maps. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition. With an SVRS score of 30, while not critical, this vulnerability should still be addressed promptly. The flaw, categorized as CWE-416 (Use After Free), poses significant risks, especially with actively available exploits targeting it. The presence of tags such as "CISA KEV," "In The Wild," and "Exploit Available" further increases the need for rapid patch implementation, even though the CVSS score is 0, indicating it needs other vulnerabilities to work. While the CVSS indicates low severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score and available exploit show patching the vulnerability is critical to prevent potential security breaches. Failure to address this issue can lead to system instability and exploitation.
Description
CVE-2024-43047 is a memory corruption vulnerability in the memory maps of HLOS memory. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.8, indicating a high severity level. However, SOCRadar's SVRS assigns a score of 40, indicating a moderate risk level. This discrepancy highlights the importance of considering additional factors beyond CVSS when assessing vulnerability severity.
