Should you act?
Exploited: patch now if you run it
CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. This signal is computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS data; it is not an editorial verdict.
- Yes, if you run Qualcomm Multiple Chipsets. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2023-12-05, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2023-12-26; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 0.8%, percentile 56: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.8% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 56% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs local access needed. Lower urgency for most teams unless an attacker could already run code on the machine.
What it is
Memory corruption while submitting a large list of sync points in an AUX command to the IOCTLKGSLGPUAUXCOMMAND.
