Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-38418 is a memory corruption vulnerability that occurs while parsing memory map information in IOCTL calls. It is associated with CWE-367 (Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition) and affects Qualcomm products, as documented in their security bulletin. The vulnerability received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant impact.
A local attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability through low-complexity attacks requiring no user interaction. Exploitation could grant high-level impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution, data tampering, or system denial of service within the affected component.
Qualcomm's February 2025 security bulletin, available at https://docs.qualcomm.com/product/publicresources/securitybulletin/february-2025-bulletin.html, provides details on affected products and mitigation measures, including patches where applicable. The bulletin was referenced in the CVE publication on 2025-02-03.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
A reference monitor that is always invoked and analyzable structurally eliminates the non-atomic check-then-use pattern underlying TOCTOU.
Access enforcement that performs an atomic check-and-use decision directly stops the window in which a TOCTOU race can be exploited.
Process isolation limits the blast radius of a successful TOCTOU exploitation but does not remove the race itself.
