Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Memory corruption while parsing IPC frequency table parameters for LPLH that has size greater than expected size.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-120

A fixed-size buffer is filled without checking the length of the incoming data, so it overflows into neighbouring memory. This is the classic overflow attackers use to overwrite return addresses and hijack execution. The fix is strict length checks and safe, bounded string and memory functions.

General guidance for the classic buffer overflow class — the official description and references above are authoritative for this specific CVE. Want a bespoke review and a reviewed fix? Ask our team →

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Qualcomm November 2024 security bulletin firmware updates (contact OEM for specific version numbers)

  1. Check the device manufacturer's firmware update release notes for November 2024 or later Qualcomm firmware updates
  2. Contact the device OEM to obtain firmware updates addressing CVE-2024-33030
  3. Apply the vendor-provided firmware update to affected devices running Snapdragon X75, X72, Auto 5G Modem RF Gen 2, or Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 platforms
  4. For audio codec firmware (Wsa8835, Wsa8830, Wcd9380, Wcd9340), obtain and apply OEM-provided patched firmware
Caveat Firmware updates may require device downtime; coordinate with OEM on update process and compatibility
