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 when user space address is modified and passed to mem_free API, causing kernel memory to be freed inadvertently.

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 memory corruption vulnerability exists where a user-space address can be modified (likely through a race condition or manipulation) before being passed to the mem_free API. This causes the kernel to inadvertently free kernel memory instead of the intended user-space memory, leading to potential use-after-free conditions and system instability.

MitigationImplement strict validation of pointer addresses before passing to mem_free, ensuring pointers originate from the expected memory space and cannot be manipulated to reference kernel memory regions.

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 Qualcomm Fastconnect WiFi firmware presence
    Check system for Qualcomm Fastconnect 6900 or 7800 WiFi firmware by examining firmware class sysfs entries, dmesg logs for firmware loading messages, or using tools like 'iw list' to query wireless device firmware version
    Affected if The system has Fastconnect 6900 or Fastconnect 7800 firmware loaded - all versions are affected
  2. Identify Qualcomm WCD audio codec firmware
    Examine audio codec firmware by checking ALSA sound card information, looking for WCD9378c, WCD9380, or WCD9385 in system logs (dmesg, journalctl), or querying the audio subsystem for codec firmware versions
    Affected if The system uses WCD9378c, WCD9380, or WCD9385 audio codec firmware - all versions are affected
  3. Identify Qualcomm Qcc2072 Bluetooth audio firmware
    Check for Qcc2072 Bluetooth audio device presence using Bluetooth management tools (bluetoothctl, hciconfig), examining bluez firmware loading logs, or checking /sys/class/bluetooth for device firmware information
    Affected if The system has Qcc2072 Bluetooth audio firmware loaded - all versions are affected
  4. Identify Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform firmware
    On systems with Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 (Windows on ARM devices, some laptops), check firmware versions through system firmware/UEFI interfaces, or examine ACPI tables for platform firmware version information
    Affected if The device runs on Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 Compute Platform firmware - all versions are affected
  5. Identify Sc8380xp firmware presence
    Check for Sc8380xp component firmware through platform-specific diagnostics, system firmware logs, or hardware enumeration tools that report embedded controller or platform controller firmware versions
    Affected if The system has Sc8380xp firmware installed - all versions are affected

If any of these Qualcomm firmware components (Fastconnect 6900/7800, WCD9378c/WCD9380/WCD9385, Qcc2072, Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3, or Sc8380xp) are present in the environment, the system is affected since all versions of each are vulnerable.
