NFC requires physical proximity under 10 cm, making AV:P accurate; no target-device credentials are required per the description, so PR:N rather than the vendor's PR:L.

DescriptionCVE.org

In rw_mfc_handle_read_op of rw_mfc.cc, there is a possible memory safety issue due to a heap buffer overflow. This could lead to remote code execution with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution is achievable in Android's NFC subsystem across Android 14 through 17, including Android 16-QPR2, via a heap buffer overflow in the MIFARE Classic tag reader function rw_mfc_handle_read_op() within rw_mfc.cc. An attacker within NFC proximity can present a crafted MIFARE Classic tag that overflows a heap-allocated buffer in the NFC daemon, yielding full device control with no victim interaction required and no privileges needed on the target. …
