CVE-2025-36940: Elevation of privilege in Google Android
Use-After-Free vulnerability in a zircon kernel pager proxy (Fuchsia), which could lead to a Privilege Escalation from Userspace to Kernel (AP)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the zircon kernel pager proxy, a component of the Fuchsia kernel used in Android devices. Exploiting this flaw could enable privilege escalation from userspace to kernel, potentially allowing an attacker to gain higher-level access on the device. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2025-36940 and was reserved in April 2025. No detailed technical or remediation information is provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to privilege escalation from userspace to kernel, potentially compromising the security boundary between user applications and the kernel. This could allow attackers to execute code with elevated privileges, impacting device integrity and security. However, no known exploits are reported, and the scope of affected versions is unspecified.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or workaround information is available at this time.
