Vendor/Project: Google
Product: Android

Description

In PackageInstaller.Session#transfer of frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/pm/PackageInstallerSession.java, there is a possible memory exhaustion attack due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability exists in the PackageInstaller.Session#transfer method within the Android framework's package installer service. Due to a logic error, an attacker can trigger memory exhaustion, causing a denial of service condition locally. Exploitation does not require any privileges or user interaction, making it trivially exploitable on affected devices. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability, and security requirements. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no official fix or patch has been disclosed by Google as of the publication date.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation results in local denial of service through memory exhaustion, potentially causing the affected device to become unresponsive or crash. No additional execution privileges are required, and no user interaction is needed, increasing the risk of automated or remote triggering. There is no indication of data compromise or privilege escalation from the provided information.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users and administrators should monitor for updates from Google and apply them promptly once available. No vendor-provided workaround or temporary fix is currently documented.
