In ImsMediaBitReader::ReadByteBuffer, there is a possible OOB read due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds read in Android's ImsMediaBitReader::ReadByteBuffer exposes memory contents to remote attackers over network-reachable IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) sessions, including VoLTE calls. Affected Android versions allow a low-privileged remote party to trigger the missing bounds check and extract a limited portion of process memory, resulting in information disclosure with no user interaction required. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and SSVC classifies exploitation as none with partial technical impact, making this a low-urgency but real network-reachable exposure.
Technical ContextAI
ImsMediaBitReader is a component of the Android IMS media framework (cpe:2.3:a:google:android:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), responsible for parsing bit-level streams in IMS multimedia sessions such as VoLTE audio and video calls. The root cause is CWE-120 (Buffer Copy Without Checking Size of Input), specifically a missing bounds check in the ReadByteBuffer method that allows reads beyond the allocated buffer boundary. Attackers can supply crafted RTP/IMS media packets to a target device in an active session, causing the reader to access memory outside the intended buffer. The vulnerability is confined to confidentiality impact only - no write primitive is exposed, meaning memory corruption leading to code execution is not indicated by this bug class.
RemediationAI
Apply the patch delivered through the Google Pixel Security Bulletin for June 2026, available at https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-06-01. The exact patched Android build version is not independently confirmed from available data beyond this bulletin reference. For non-Pixel OEM devices, monitor vendor-specific security bulletins for downstream patch availability, as IMS stack adoption varies by OEM. As a compensating control, disabling VoLTE on devices where it is not operationally required removes the primary attack surface, though this degrades call quality and may impact emergency services calling in some regions. Organizations managing Android fleets should prioritize patch deployment on devices where VoLTE is enabled and internet-reachable IMS endpoints are exposed.
