Description
In Android before 2018-04-05 or earlier security patch level on Qualcomm Snapdragon Automobile and Snapdragon Mobile IPQ4019, MDM9625, MDM9635M, MDM9640, MDM9650, MDM9655, SD 210/SD 212/SD 205, SD 400, SD 410/12, SD 615/16/SD 415, SD 800, SD 808, SD 810, SD 820, and SD 820A, A non-secure region check is done while registering QSEE buffer address which is passed by HLOS but not while logging in the QSEE buffer, so corruption of dynamically protected secure region can occur if the non-secure buffer is changed between the time it's checked and when it's used.
