CVE-2023-33200
Mali GPU Kernel Driver Allows Improper GPU Memory Processing Operations
A local non-privileged user can make improper GPU processing operations to exploit a software race condition. If the system’s memory is carefully prepared by the user, then this in turn could give them access to already freed memory.
