DescriptionCVE.org

In parsePartHeaders of multiple files, there is a possible persistent denial of service due to improper input validation. This could lead to remote denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

Persistent denial of service in Android's multipart header parsing function parsePartHeaders affects Android 14 through 17 due to improper input validation (CWE-20). A low-privileged remote attacker can send specially crafted multipart data to trigger the flaw with no user interaction required, causing a persistent system-level availability outage. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a low-privilege authenticated context (CVSS PR:L), meaning the attacker must have at least a minimal foothold on the device - such as an installed application or authenticated network service account - capable of triggering the multipart parsing path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS base score of 6.5 (Medium) accurately reflects the constrained impact profile: confidentiality and integrity are unaffected, and the attack requires PR:L (some level of authenticated access), lowering it from a critical network-reachable flaw. … 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 September 2026 Android Security Bulletin patches, available via Google's security update program and OEM firmware channels, referencing the advisory at https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2026/2026-09-01. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
