# CVE-2024-4610: Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver Use-After-Free Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-06-12, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2024-07-03 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 0.8% , percentile 55: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.8% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 55% 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

Use After Free vulnerability in Arm Ltd Bifrost GPU Kernel Driver, Arm Ltd Valhall GPU Kernel Driver allows a local non-privileged user to make improper GPU memory processing operations to gain access to already freed memory.This issue affects Bifrost GPU Kernel Driver: from r34p0 through r40p0; Valhall GPU Kernel Driver: from r34p0 through r40p0.

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Arm Ltd Bifrost GPU Kernel Driver: r34p0 <= r40p0
- Arm Ltd Valhall GPU Kernel Driver: r34p0 <= r40p0

## Severity

- CISA-ADP CVSS 3.1: 7.4 `CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`
