AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Android (versions 14 through 17) arises from improper type casting in multiple functions of ftsmooth.c, the anti-aliased smooth rasterizer of the bundled FreeType font-rendering engine. An attacker can trigger memory corruption through a maliciously crafted font with no user interaction and no additional execution privileges, per the September 2026 Android Security Bulletin. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target Android device (version 14, 15, 16, 16-qpr2, or 17) to process an attacker-crafted font through FreeType's smooth/anti-aliased rendering path in ftsmooth.c. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H, score 9.8) reflects an unauthenticated, no-interaction RCE, and the CWE-704 memory-safety class in a font parser is a historically reliable exploitation target. … 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 Android security update corresponding to the 2026-09-01 patch level or later on all affected devices (Android 14 through 17); the fix is delivered via the monthly Android security bulletin at https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2026/2026-09-01. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all organizational devices running Android 14-17 and alert users to avoid opening font files from untrusted or external sources; notify your mobile device management team to prepare for incident response. …
