Google Android: Out-of-bounds read causes temporary denial of service
Summary
Several locations in Android allow an out-of-bounds read due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can trigger a temporary denial of service without additional execution privileges or user interaction. The affected component is not confirmed: the CVE record names the Android kernel, and research notes report that the Pixel bulletin lists an IMS Stack denial-of-service issue, which could not be verified in the bulletin excerpt.
Affected
- Google Android on supported Pixel devices
- Exact Android version range: Unknown.
- Affected component: unconfirmed (Android kernel per CVE record; IMS Stack per research notes)
Fixed in
- Google Pixel devices: security patch level 2026-11-05 or later
- Other Android vendors: Unknown.
Workaround
Unknown. No vendor workaround is documented.
Exploitation
- No public proof of concept known
- No active exploitation documented in the reviewed sources
- CISA SSVC assessment: Exploitation none, Automatable yes, Technical Impact partial
- NVD analysis pending at the time of research
Our recommendation
- Verify that managed Pixel devices show security patch level 2026-11-05 or later and install the update
- Check Samsung and other Android fleets against their own November 2026 bulletins
- Monitor the Pixel bulletin and NVD for the affected version range and the final CVSS score
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
