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 due to double free when multiple threads race to set the timestamp store.

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 · moderate confidence

A double-free vulnerability exists in the timestamp store functionality where concurrent thread access can cause the same memory pointer to be freed twice, leading to heap corruption and potential arbitrary code execution.

MitigationImplement proper thread synchronization (e.g., mutex locks or atomic operations) around timestamp store allocation and deallocation to prevent race conditions, and validate pointer ownership before free operations.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the Qualcomm firmware component
    Examine system hardware specifications, device inventory, or firmware/build manifests to determine if any of the following are present: Qualcomm Aqt1000, Fastconnect 6200/6700/6800/6900/7800, Qca6391, or Qca6421 firmware modules.
    Affected if Any of the listed Qualcomm firmware components are present in the system, as all versions are affected.
  2. Determine the firmware version
    Query the firmware version via vendor-specific tools, device APIs, or by inspecting firmware image metadata (e.g., via 'fwprintenv', 'cat /proc/version', or vendor management interfaces).
    Affected if The firmware version matches any of the affected product lines (all versions are vulnerable).
  3. Verify timestamp store functionality is in use
    Review system logs, active module listings, or configuration to determine if the timestamp store feature is actively loaded or invoked by the firmware or driver stack.
    Affected if The timestamp store functionality is enabled or actively used on the system.
  4. Check for heap corruption indicators
    Analyze system crash dumps, kernel logs, or firmware debug logs for signs of heap corruption, double-free errors, or memory management faults related to timestamp operations.

The system is affected if it runs any version of the listed Qualcomm firmware components and the timestamp store functionality is in use, as all versions contain the double-free vulnerability.

Mitigation

Implement proper thread synchronization (e.g., mutex locks or atomic operations) around timestamp store allocation and deallocation to prevent race conditions, and validate pointer ownership before free operations.
