CVE-2026-58773: Elevation of privilege in Google Android
In link_load_gnss_image of link_device.c, there is a possible out-of-bounds write due to a missing 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 a missing bounds check in the link_load_gnss_image function within the link_device.c component of Google Android. The flaw can lead to an out-of-bounds write, potentially allowing a local attacker with System execution privileges to escalate their privileges further. The vulnerability does not require user interaction to be exploited. No CVSS score or detailed vendor advisory information is available, and no affected versions or patch status are specified.
Potential Impact
A local attacker with System execution privileges could exploit this vulnerability to elevate their privileges further on the affected Android device. The lack of user interaction requirement increases the risk of exploitation in scenarios where the attacker already has some level of system access. However, without additional details on affected versions or exploitation in the wild, the full impact scope is unclear.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, limit local access to trusted users and monitor for updates from Google regarding this vulnerability.
