In all Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, the num_failure_info value from firmware is not properly validated in wma_rx_aggr_failure_event_handler() so that an integer overflow vulnerability in a buffer size calculation may potentially lead to a buffer overflow.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a Qualcomm Android kernel-side flaw where firmware-supplied failure information is not properly checked. A bad value can corrupt memory through a buffer size calculation error. The public bundle does not provide CVSS, affected chipsets, or confirmed exploitation. Exposure is most likely in older Qualcomm-based Android or CAF-derived builds using the affected Linux kernel code path. The bundle does not identify specific devices, kernel versions, or OEM patch levels. Treat as a legacy mobile-platform risk requiring asset and patch-level confirmation, not an emergency based on current evidence. Unsupported Qualcomm Android devices deserve priority because no safe compensating fix is named in the sources. Mitigation focus: Check Qualcomm, Android, and OEM guidance for CVE-2017-17764.; Inventory Qualcomm-based Android devices and CAF-derived firmware builds.; Prioritize unsupported or pre-2018 Android security patch levels for review..
