CVE-2024-43047 is a high-severity use-after-free vulnerability in Qualcomm's Digital Signal Processor (DSP) service affecting multiple Qualcomm chipsets used by Android devices. Qualcomm described the issue as memory corruption while maintaining memory maps of HLOS memory. Available reporting further indicates the flaw involves DSP updates to header buffers with unused DMA handle file descriptors; if an invalid DMA handle file descriptor matches one already in use, a stale object can be reused after free, leading to memory corruption. The vulnerable condition exists in closed-source Qualcomm components associated with the Android kernel and DSP service. Successful exploitation can corrupt memory and has been reported as under limited, targeted exploitation in the wild.
