https://github.blog/2024-03-18-gaining-kernel-code-execution-on-an-mte-enabled-pixel-8/

Summary: CVE-2023-6241 is a vulnerability in the Arm Mali GPU, affecting devices like Google's Pixel 7 and Pixel 8. The vulnerability allows a malicious Android app to gain arbitrary kernel code execution and root on the device, even when Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) is enabled. The issue is a logic bug in the memory management unit of the Arm Mali GPU, capable of bypassing MTE, a powerful mitigation against memory corruption.
