Qualcomm

Qualcomm faced significant vulnerabilities within their Adreno GPU used in Android devices. Discovered by Google’s Android Red Team, these vulnerabilities could lead to full device control if exploited. Attackers could bypass application restrictions, accessing GPU drivers with deep kernel privileges. Although Qualcomm released patches to OEMs, the diffuse Android ecosystem could slow mitigation. This emphasizes GPUs as emerging security focal points, with their ubiquitous role in daily mobile device operations exposing them to potential widespread impact if leveraged by attackers.
