Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • Exploitation requires an existing local or physical foothold with privileges.
  • EPSS is 0.14% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict local access and enforce least privilege on affected hosts.
  • Monitor vendor guidance and exploitation sources for a material change.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: No default targetRemediation target: Normal maintenance

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

No EUVD known-exploited evidence

Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct GPU system calls which cause GPU memory leaks and possible kernel heap corruption. Scenario caused by memory free paths not maintaining state data of upgraded higher order allocations. This could cause memory leak or double free event.

01

What, why and how

Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct GPU system calls which cause GPU memory leaks and possible kernel heap corruption. Scenario caused by memory free paths not maintaining state data of upgraded higher order allocations. This could cause memory leak or double free event.

What

Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct GPU system calls which cause GPU memory leaks and possible kernel heap corruption. Scenario caused by memory free paths not maintaining state data of upgraded higher order allocations. This could cause memory leak or double free event.

Why

The product calls free() twice on the same memory address.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-415 ↗

CWE-415: Double Free. The product calls free() twice on the same memory address.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

The issue can support a local privilege or sandbox boundary transition; normal system utilities may then be available in the gained context.
