## What is CVE-2024-0153?

CVE-2024-0153 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Arm 5th Gen GPU Architecture Firmware, published on 1 Jul 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in Arm Ltd Valhall GPU Firmware, Arm Ltd Arm 5th Gen GPU Architecture Firmware allows a local non-privileged user to make improper GPU processing operations to access a limited amount outside of buffer bounds. If the operations are carefully prepared, then this in turn could give them access to all system memory. This issue affects Valhall GPU Firmware: from r29p0 through r46p0; Arm 5th Gen GPU Architecture Firmware: from r41p0 through r46p0.

Weakness: CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer)

## Which versions are affected by CVE-2024-0153?

It affects 2 products.


Products: Arm 5th Gen Gpu Architecture Firmware, Arm Valhall Gpu Firmware.

## How do I fix CVE-2024-0153?

Apply the vendor's patch.

## Is CVE-2024-0153 being exploited?

Check this codebase for CVE-2024-0153 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-0153 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Arm 5th Gen GPU Architecture Firmware, published on 1 Jul 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-0153 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Arm 5th Gen GPU Architecture Firmware. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
