Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via the msm_ioctl_gem_submit process. An attacker can gain access to and manipulate memory outside the intended buffer by submitting crafted ioctl requests with specific size and offset values that cause integer overflow, allowing execution of command packets from unauthorized memory regions and potentially corrupting or exfiltrating sensitive data.
Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
