CVE-2024-4610 Arm CVE debrief

CVE-2024-4610 is a use-after-free vulnerability affecting the Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver. CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on 2024-06-12, which makes it a defensive priority even though the supplied corpus does not provide affected-version details or a public impact breakdown. Organizations using the driver should treat this as urgent and follow Arm’s mitigation guidance or discontinue use if mitigations are not available.

Who should care

Security teams responsible for systems that use the Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver, including endpoint, mobile, embedded, and platform owners; vulnerability management teams tracking CISA KEV items; and operations teams that can rapidly validate mitigations or updates.

Technical summary

The supplied source data identifies CVE-2024-4610 as a use-after-free vulnerability in Arm’s Mali GPU Kernel Driver. The corpus does not include the vulnerable versions, exploitation prerequisites, or a vendor impact statement, so the safest evidence-based summary is limited to the vulnerability class and product affected. Because the issue is listed in CISA KEV with a due date of 2024-07-03, remediation should be prioritized using Arm’s official security guidance and the NVD record.

Defensive priority

High. CISA KEV inclusion indicates this vulnerability must be addressed quickly, with a remediation target of 2024-07-03 per the KEV metadata.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Inventory all systems, devices, and products that include the Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver.
  • Apply mitigations per Arm’s official security guidance as soon as possible.
  • If mitigations or updates are unavailable, discontinue use of the affected product where feasible.
  • Track the NVD and CVE record for any vendor-published affected-version and remediation details.
  • Prioritize remediation before the CISA KEV due date of 2024-07-03.
  • Validate that vulnerability-management exceptions are documented only when a compensating control is in place.

Evidence notes

This debrief is based only on the supplied CISA KEV metadata and official links. The corpus identifies CVE-2024-4610 as an Arm Mali GPU Kernel Driver use-after-free vulnerability, published and added to KEV on 2024-06-12, with a remediation due date of 2024-07-03. The supplied corpus does not provide affected versions, exploit details, or impact scoring, so those facts are intentionally not asserted here.
