Bounds Check Bypass in Android OS Leading to Privilege Escalation

Publication date: 2026-06-01

Last updated on: 2026-06-03

Assigner: Android (associated with Google Inc. or Open Handset Alliance)

Description

In multiple functions, there is a possible desync in persistence due to an incorrect bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves a possible desynchronization in persistence caused by an incorrect bounds check in multiple functions. Essentially, the software does not properly verify certain limits, which can lead to inconsistent or unexpected behavior in how data or states are maintained.

Because of this flaw, an attacker can escalate their privileges locally without needing any additional execution privileges or user interaction.

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability is that an attacker with local access can escalate their privileges on the affected system. This means they could gain higher-level permissions than intended, potentially allowing them to perform unauthorized actions or access sensitive information.
