CVE-2024-43047 — Qualcomm Multiple Chipsets Use-After-Free Vulnerability

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

CISA SSVC assessment CISA

Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

• Documented patch — docs.qualcomm.com (NIST National Vulnerability Database)

CISA required action CISA

Apply remediations or mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if remediation or mitigations are unavailable.

US federal deadline: Oct 29, 2024 — passed 716 day(s) ago

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Qualcomm Fastconnect 6700 Firmware, Qualcomm Fastconnect 6800 Firmware, Qualcomm Fastconnect 6900 Firmware…).
2. Treat as emergency remediation: the CVE is in CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
3. Apply the fixed version or the patch documented under Remediation.
4. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (memory corruption), errors and authentication anomalies.

CISA KEV details CISA

CISA lists a CVE once it has evidence of exploitation against real targets.

CISA records ransomware use only for campaigns it has confirmed, so “Unknown” means unrecorded, not ruled out. The deadline binds US federal agencies; for everyone else it is a reference date.

Detection

Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.

• Local/physical vector: focus on endpoint telemetry (EDR) from affected hosts.
• Correlate service crashes/restarts with inbound traffic; repeated crashes may indicate attempts.
• Hunt retroactively in logs from before Oct 8, 2024 (KEV listing): exploitation may have started earlier.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2024-43047 is "Qualcomm Multiple Chipsets Use-After-Free Vulnerability", rated High. It affects Fastconnect 6700 Firmware (Qualcomm); versions are in the scope table. It is in CISA KEV: there is evidence of real-world exploitation. CVSS 7.8 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.67% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
