CVE-2021-1906 is a vulnerability in Qualcomm GPU components affecting multiple Snapdragon product lines, including Snapdragon Auto, Compute, Connectivity, Consumer IoT, Industrial IoT, Mobile, Voice & Music, and Wearables. The flaw is described as improper handling of address deregistration on failure in the graphics subsystem. When an error condition occurs during GPU address deregistration, the failure is not handled correctly, which can result in subsequent GPU address allocation failures. The issue has been characterized as improper error handling in Qualcomm Graphics and aligns with detection of an error condition without adequate corrective action.
