DescriptionCVE.org

In parseInterventionFromXml of GameManagerService.java, there is a possible permanent denial of service due to resource exhaustion. This could lead to local denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

Permanent local denial of service in Android's GameManagerService affects devices running Android 14 through 16-qpr2, exploitable by any low-privilege application without user interaction. The vulnerable code path - parseInterventionFromXml in GameManagerService.java - fails to bound resource consumption during XML parsing of game mode intervention data, allowing a locally installed app to exhaust system resources and render the service permanently unavailable until device reboot. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a locally installed application running on the target Android device with standard low-privilege access (PR:L per CVSS vector), the default permission level for user-installed apps. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.5 (Medium) rating accurately reflects the constrained attack surface: local access with low privileges limits who can trigger this, and S:U means the denial of service is scoped to the GameManagerService rather than the full device. … 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 patches described in the Android Security Bulletin for September 2026 (https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2026/2026-09-01); specific patched build numbers and security patch level (SPL) strings must be confirmed directly from that bulletin, as exact fix versions were not enumerated in available input data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
