DescriptionCVE.org

In VPU, there is a possible information dislclosure due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

A logic error in the Android kernel's VPU (Video Processing Unit) driver can disclose kernel memory contents to code that is already running with System-level privileges. The flaw is local-only: CVSS gives AV:L with PR:H, so an attacker must first obtain elevated (System) execution on the device before triggering the information leak, and no user interaction is required once that precondition is met. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires local execution on the Android device at System privilege level (PR:H per the CVSS vector), meaning the attacker must first obtain a privileged code-execution foothold through some other means - this CVE is not itself an entry point. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 4.4) describes a low-complexity but heavily gated issue: exploitation requires local execution already at System privilege level, so the vulnerability does not grant privilege escalation on its own - it is a lever used after a device is already compromised. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the Android/Pixel security patch identified in the 2026-09-01 Pixel bulletin (https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-09-01), which is the vendor-released fix for this VPU issue; the bulletin is also the authoritative source for the exact builds that require the update, since no standalone fix version number is provided in the reference data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
