Qualcomm Finally Patches Adreno GPU Zero-Day Flaws Used in Android Attacks

  • Qualcomm released security patches in June 2025 to fix three zero-day vulnerabilities in its Adreno GPU driver affecting dozens of chipsets worldwide.
  • These flaws, tracked as CVE-2025-21479, CVE-2025-21480, and CVE-2025-27038, were reported through Google's Android Security team between January and March amid active targeted exploitation.
  • The two critical vulnerabilities involve incorrect authorization in the GPU graphics framework causing memory corruption, while the third is a use-after-free bug linked to graphics rendering in Chrome.
  • Google's Threat Analysis Group provided evidence of these exploits being used to install advanced spyware like NoviSpy, which gains kernel-level access and bypasses Android security protections.
  • Qualcomm and Google strongly urged device manufacturers and users to deploy the patches quickly to prevent further targeted attacks and protect sensitive user data.
