Android AVB Key Parsing Buffer Over‑read Leading to Information Disclosure

Published Jun 16, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In iavb_parse_key_data of avb_rsa.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to improper input validation. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

A buffer over‑read occurs in the iavb_parse_key_data function of avb_rsa.c due to inadequate input validation, allowing the application to read memory beyond its intended bounds. The vulnerability does not provide an execution path or privilege escalation; however, the leaked data can expose sensitive internal information. This weakness is reflected in the associated CWE‑125 and CWE‑20 designations.

Affected Systems

Commercial Android devices distributed by Google, as outlined in the security bulletin. Specific product versions are not disclosed in the public data, so administrators should review all devices for potential exposure.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4 indicates low severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that exploitation is unlikely at present. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV catalog, further reducing its immediate risk. Exploit requires local access and crafted input data, with no user interaction needed once the malformed key is processed.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest OTA security update from Google that addresses CVE-2026-0142.
  • If the update is not yet available, postpone deployment of the affected devices until the vendor releases a patch or consult Google’s mitigation guidance.
  • If feasible, limit the exposure of AVB key processing by restricting permissions or isolating the component in a sandboxed environment.
