Vendor: Qualcomm

Description

The vulnerability allows a local application to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition when handling concurrent hypervisor operations to attach or detach IRQs from virtual interrupt sources. A local application can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.

Mitigation
Install updates from vendor's website.
