CVE-2021-28664 (GCVE-0-2021-28664)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2021-05-10 00:00 – Updated: 2025-10-21 23:25
VLAI CISA Previdian
Summary
The Arm Mali GPU kernel driver allows privilege escalation or a denial of service (memory corruption) because an unprivileged user can achieve read/write access to read-only pages. This affects Bifrost r0p0 through r29p0 before r30p0, Valhall r19p0 through r29p0 before r30p0, and Midgard r8p0 through r30p0 before r31p0.
Severity
