NULL Pointer Dereference in Imagination PowerVR GPU driver
CVE-2025-46711 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting the Imagination PowerVR GPU component referenced in the December 2025 Android Security Bulletin. The provided description states that software installed and run as a non-privileged user may issue improper GPU system calls that trigger kernel exceptions due to a NULL pointer dereference. Based on the available information, the flaw is a kernel-space NULL pointer dereference reachable through GPU-related system call handling, allowing an unprivileged local process to cause a fault in the kernel or GPU driver path.
