CVE-2026-20489

Integer Overflow in Mediatek Display Engine Enables Local Information Disclosure

Published Aug 3, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In display, there is a possible information disclosure due to an integer overflow. This could lead to local information disclosure if a malicious actor has already obtained the System privilege. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS11004274; Issue ID: MSV-7749.

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

An integer overflow in the Mediatek display engine allows an out‑of‑bounds memory read. The flaw can reveal sensitive data stored within the device’s memory; the attacker must already have local system privileges to trigger the disclosure. No additional user interaction or network connectivity is required to exploit the vulnerability.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all MediaTek, Inc. chipsets that incorporate the Mediatek display stack and have not applied the latest firmware update. No specific firmware or driver versions are listed, so any device using the affected stack is potentially vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.4 indicates a moderate severity vulnerability, while the EPSS score of <1% reflects a low but non‑zero probability of exploitation. The flaw remains local and requires that the attacker have already achieved system‑level access; no network or remote trigger is involved. Because the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, widespread exploitation is considered unlikely in the current threat landscape.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the MediaTek firmware update that incorporates patch ID ALPS11004274 to fix the integer overflow.
  • Ensure that only system‑level services with appropriate privileges interact with the display stack, preventing user‑mode applications from requesting privileged display operations.
  • Implement monitoring of the display driver for anomalous memory accesses, and log any out‑of‑bounds read attempts for review.
