CVE-2021-0946
Last modified
CVE-2021-0946 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The method PVRSRVBridgePMRPDumpSymbolicAddr allocates puiMemspaceNameInt on the heap, fills the contents of the buffer via PMR_PDumpSymbolicAddr, and then copies the buffer to userspace. The method PMR_PDumpSymbolicAddr may fail, and if it does the buffer will be left uninitialized and despite the error will still be copied to userspace. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
