DescriptionCVE.org

In setTo of ResourceTypes.cpp, there is a possible out-of-bounds heap read due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds heap read in Android's ResourceTypes.cpp setTo function exposes local heap memory to low-privileged processes across Android 14 through 17. The missing bounds check requires only standard user-level execution - no elevated privileges and no user interaction - to trigger partial disclosure of heap contents. …
