CVE-2016-2062: n/a vulnerability

The adreno_perfcounter_query_group function in drivers/gpu/msm/adreno_perfcounter.c in the Adreno GPU driver for the Linux kernel 3.x, as used in Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow, heap-based buffer overflow, and incorrect memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted IOCTL_KGSL_PERFCOUNTER_QUERY ioctl call.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-2062 affects Qualcomm Adreno GPU driver code used in Linux 3.x Android kernels for MSM devices. A malformed performance-counter ioctl can trigger incorrect allocation and buffer overflow behavior, causing denial of service and possibly other unspecified impact. The bundle does not provide a CVSS score or confirmed exploitation. Exposure is most likely on Android/MSM devices or products using the affected Linux 3.x Adreno GPU driver code. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete and lists no precise vendor, product, version, or CPE inventory. Prioritize this for legacy Android or embedded fleets using Qualcomm MSM platforms. Business urgency is lower if no affected devices remain, but unsupported devices should be treated as residual operational risk because the bundle lacks precise version boundaries. Mitigation focus: Apply OEM or vendor updates containing the referenced Adreno driver fix.; Review the Android 2016-06-01 security bulletin for affected device guidance.; Check Qualcomm/CodeAurora advisory material for product-specific remediation details..
