CVE-2026-55365: Elevation of privilege in Google Android
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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds write in multiple functions within remap.c in Google Android. The root cause is an incorrect bounds check that may allow a local attacker with System execution privileges to escalate their privileges further. The vulnerability does not require user interaction for exploitation. No CVSS score or detailed vendor advisory is available, and no affected versions or patch information are specified.
Potential Impact
An attacker with System execution privileges on the affected Android device could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges locally. This could potentially allow the attacker to perform unauthorized actions or access sensitive resources beyond their original permissions. There is no indication of remote exploitation or user interaction required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or workaround information is provided, monitoring official Google Android security advisories for updates is recommended.
