CVE-2025-47372 is a critical memory corruption vulnerability in a Qualcomm closed-source component involved in processing ELF images during the boot path. The flaw occurs when a corrupted ELF image containing an oversized file size is read into a buffer without proper size validation and without authentication, resulting in a classic buffer overflow condition. Available reporting characterizes the issue as a buffer copy operation that fails to verify the size of attacker-controlled input before copying it into memory. Because the vulnerable logic handles malformed ELF content, successful exploitation could corrupt adjacent memory and alter control flow or data integrity within the affected component.
