DescriptionCVE.org

In Vp9DecEndOfStream of vp9hwd_output.cc, there is a possible out-of-bounds read due to an incorrect bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

An out-of-bounds read in the Android hardware VP9 decode path (Vp9DecEndOfStream in vp9hwd_output.cc) permits a locally installed app that can feed a crafted VP9 bitstream to the platform decoder to read memory beyond the intended buffer, leaking process data. Exploitation requires a local foothold (AV:L) - an app already running on the device - but no additional privileges (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N); the flaw is confined to devices using Google/Tensor's hardware VP9 decode implementation and is not remotely exploitable. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires the attacker to already execute local code on the affected Pixel/Android device (AV:L) - typically an installed app - that can hand a crafted VP9 bitstream to the platform's hardware VP9 decoder path (vp9hwd_output.cc Vp9DecEndOfStream). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals point to a low real-world priority despite the 8.4 (High) vendor CVSS. … 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 The primary action is to apply Google's September 2026 Pixel/Android security bulletin update (https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-09-01), which is where the fix for CVE-2026-58699 is published; the supplied data does not include an exact patch build or version string, so reference the bulletin's build list for the confirmed patched level (patch status: "Patch available per vendor advisory"). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify which managed Android devices use Google/Tensor hardware VP9 decode (primarily Pixel and other Tensor-based models) via your EMM/MDM inventory, and confirm that Google Play Protect is enabled and that unknown-source/sideloading is blocked on those fleets. …
