AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
Remotely delivered crafted RTCP packet requires the victim to engage a media session (UI:R) but no auth (PR:N); impact is a bounded read-only memory leak, so C:L only.

In RtcpByePacket::decodeByePacket, there is a possible due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to remote information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.
AnalysisAI
An out-of-bounds read in Android's RTCP BYE packet decoder (RtcpByePacket::decodeByePacket) allows a remote party in an RTP/RTCP media session to disclose a limited amount of device memory by sending a malformed BYE packet. The flaw is reached over the network (AV:N) with no privileges required on the target (PR:N), but the CVSS UI:R metric means the victim must engage with the call or media stream carrying the packet, and impact is confined to low confidentiality loss (C:L) with no integrity or availability effect and no code execution. EPSS is 0.17% (6th percentile) and CISA's SSVC assessment rates exploitation as none and automatable as no, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis; this is a genuine but low-priority issue requiring an unpatched Android build prior to the June 2026 patch level.
Technical ContextAI
RTCP (RTP Control Protocol) is the companion control channel to RTP, carrying sender/receiver reports and session teardown messages such as the BYE packet; it is processed continuously by Android's media stack during VoIP calls, video conferencing, and streaming sessions. The affected routine, RtcpByePacket::decodeByePacket, parses an incoming BYE packet's length/field data without adequately validating the declared size against the received buffer, which the project classifies under CWE-120 (buffer copy without checking size of input) and which manifests here as a read past the end of the buffer rather than a memory-corruption write. Because the parsing path is reachable from network-supplied media traffic on the RTCP port, a crafted packet triggers the out-of-bounds read and can leak limited adjacent memory back through observable protocol behavior, but the primitive is disclosure-only - there is no path to control-flow hijack, memory corruption write, or denial of service. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:android, and the EUVD record (EUVD-2026-37212) lists the Android kernel/Android platform as the impacted component; the underlying issue was reported by Google Devices and fixed in the Android/Pixel security bulletin dated 2026-06-01.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to update affected devices to the Android security patch level dated 2026-06-01 or later, as published in the Pixel/AOSP bulletin at https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-06-01; because the impacted parser is part of the platform media stack, OEM and carrier builds that backport the bulletin must be verified, not just Pixel releases. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting which applications and network peers can deliver RTCP traffic to the device - for example, confine VoIP and conferencing apps to trusted networks/endpoints through firewall or MDM policy, and disable or block unused real-time media services - accepting the trade-off that this degrades legitimate calling and streaming functionality. Session-level controls also help: require authenticated/encrypted media (SRTP with peer verification) and avoid joining untrusted call or media sessions, since exploitation needs the user to engage with the session carrying the malicious BYE packet. There is no vendor-released standalone workaround beyond the bulletin patch, and no evidence that a public exploit exists, so remediation can be prioritized alongside routine monthly maintenance rather than as an emergency action.
