CVE-2026-21385

# CVE-2026-21385: Qualcomm Chipset Memory Corruption **What it is:** Multiple Qualcomm chipsets contain a memory corruption flaw in memory allocation alignment routines that attackers can exploit to execute arbitrary code or crash devices. **Impact:** Devices using affected Qualcomm chipsets are vulnerable to local privilege escalation or denial of service depending on the chipset model and Android/firmware version deployed. **Action items:** Identify Qualcomm chipset inventory across mobile and IoT devices using Qualcomm's advisory or your MDM/asset management tools. Prioritize patching Android devices and firmware updates from OEMs (Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, etc.) as Qualcomm releases mitigations. Monitor vendor advisories—Qualcomm typically publishes affected chipset model numbers and patch timelines on their security bulletin page.
