DescriptionCVE.org

In parseParts of PduParser.java, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a heap buffer overflow. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in parseParts of PduParser.java enables local privilege escalation across Android 14 through 17 (including Android 16-QPR2). A low-privileged process on the device can trigger an out-of-bounds read via a malformed PDU, corrupting heap memory to achieve full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise without requiring user interaction. …
