Yes. CISA added CVE-2024-4610 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 12 Jun 2024, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild.
CISA does not list known ransomware use for it. That can change, and exploitation alone is reason to fix it first.
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Check Arm's advisory for the fixed versions, and if you can't patch quickly, restrict access to the affected Mali GPU Kernel Driver and watch it for signs of compromise.
