DescriptionCVE.org

In multiple functions of remap.c, there is a possible out-of-bounds write due to an incorrect bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AnalysisAI

An out-of-bounds write in the Android kernel's remap.c code allows a local attacker holding System-level execution privileges to corrupt kernel memory and escalate to full kernel (root) privileges. The flaw stems from an incorrect bounds check (CWE-787) that fails to validate an offset or length before a write, and no user interaction is required once the attacker has the prerequisite System privileges. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an attacker to already hold System execution privileges (CVSS PR:H) - i.e., code running as the Android System UID or equivalent must be able to reach the remap.c code path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 6.7) describes a locally triggered, low-complexity bug that nonetheless requires high privileges (PR:H - System execution privileges) before it can be reached. … 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/Pixel security bulletin for September 2026 (https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-09-01), which contains the vendor-released kernel fix for CVE-2026-55365; upgrade affected devices to that build or later - this is the primary and recommended remediation. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
