AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2026-0177 exists in the do_sss_aes_gcm_256_op function within crypto-aes.c in Google Android. Due to a missing bounds check, an out-of-bounds read can occur, potentially exposing sensitive information locally. Exploitation requires system-level execution privileges, and no user interaction is necessary. There is no CVSS score or detailed vendor advisory available, and no affected versions or patch information have been provided.
Potential Impact
An attacker with system execution privileges could exploit this vulnerability to read memory out-of-bounds, potentially disclosing sensitive information locally.
