Description
In multiple functions of attestation_object.c, there is a possible way to disclose uninitialized secure element stack memory in key attestation certificates due to uninitialized data. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability originates in multiple functions of attestation_object.c, where uninitialized data in the secure element stack can be included in key attestation certificates. This flaw could allow an attacker to read portions of memory that were never initialized, exposing sensitive information. The data disclosed could reveal internal state or cryptographic material, potentially aiding further attacks, though no additional execution privileges are required. The flaw is a pure information‑exposure issue rather than a code‑execution flaw.

Affected Systems

This weakness affects Google Android devices; specific models or firmware releases are not enumerated in the advisory, but all builds that include the affected attestation_object.c code at the time of disclosure are likely impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The exploitability of this defect is local; an attacker does not need to interact with other users or gain elevated privileges. The EPSS score is reported below 1%, indicating a low likelihood of widespread exploitation at this time, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The potential impact is limited to the confidentiality of data stored within the device’s secure element stack, and the attack vector is inferred to be local to the device rather than remote. The absence of a need for user interaction reduces the attacker's effort but does not eliminate the risk if the device is compromised by other means.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest Android OTA update that contains the attestation_object.c fix
  • Reboot the device to ensure all services use the updated code
  • Validate that attestation certificates no longer include uninitialized data by checking forensic logs or using binary analysis tools
