Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
Local privilege escalation in Android's DRM manager service allows unprivileged processes to achieve system-level access through an out-of-bounds memory write in the IDrmManagerService transaction handler. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and can be exploited immediately upon execution, making it a direct path to elevated privileges on affected Android devices. No patch is currently available.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
In onTransact of IDrmManagerService.cpp, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. [CVSS 8.4 HIGH]
RemediationAI
Monitor vendor advisories for a patch. Enable ASLR, DEP/NX, and stack canaries where possible.

DescriptionNVD
In onTransact of IDrmManagerService.cpp, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
Executive ViewAI
A high-severity vulnerability in Android's DRM service allows local attackers to escalate privileges without additional permissions, potentially compromising device security and sensitive data. This affects all devices running vulnerable Android versions until a patch becomes available, requiring immediate mitigation to prevent unauthorized access to system resources.
Restrict local application execution through application whitelisting and managed application policies; enforce SELinux security policies to limit privilege escalation scope; disable DRM functionality on non-critical devices if operationally feasible; implement Mobile Device Management (MDM) controls to restrict local execution of untrusted binaries; monitor for suspicious privilege escalation attempts via system logging; restrict physical device access in high-risk environments; monitor vendor security bulletins for patch availability and plan immediate deployment upon release.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
