CISA KEV Advisory
Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver Information Disclosure Vulnerability
Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows a non-privileged user to make valid GPU processing operations that expose sensitive kernel metadata.
Apply updates per vendor instructions.
Risk Analysis
This vulnerability in Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver allows a non-privileged user to access sensitive kernel metadata through GPU operations. Its presence in CISA's KEV catalog and an EPSS score of 0.07147 indicate a significant likelihood of exploitation, making it an urgent concern.
Active exploitation of this vulnerability has been observed in the wild, and it is confirmed to be in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.
Users should apply available updates or patches for Arm Mali GPU Kernel Drivers to address this information disclosure vulnerability.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-26083 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2023-26083 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
