AI Analysis

Impact

There is a race condition that can result in a use‑after‑free. When the freed memory is accessed again, the program flow can be hijacked and arbitrary code can run without requiring elevated privileges. This flaw maps to CWE‑362 (Concurrent Modification). The description notes that exploitation does not need user interaction, so a malicious application or any running process that can trigger the race condition can be used.

Affected Systems

Google’s Android is listed as the vendor. No specific product versions are given, so any Android device that includes the affected components is potentially vulnerable. The actual vulnerable code likely resides in core system libraries that are common to multiple Android releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity level, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % points to a low but nonzero likelihood of exploitation. The CVE is not in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation does not require user interaction, so a malicious application or any running process that can trigger the race condition can be used by an attacker. Although the low EPSS score suggests limited widespread exploitation, the high CVSS and lack of user interaction make the overall threat level high.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Android security update released by Google that contains the fix for the use‑ OS update is not available, restrict the installation of policy to allow only Google‑verified apps and requiring user confirmation for all others.
  • Deploy Google Play Protect or a comparable malware‑detection solution to continuously scan installed applications for suspicious behavior and to remove malware that could exploit the race condition.
  • Enable automatic system updates to ensure timely application of vendor patches across all Android devices.
