AI Analysis

Impact

A race condition in trusty_dput trigger an out‑of‑bounds write. When an attacker with local access exploits the contention, memory corruption occurs, allowing the attacker to obtain System execution privileges. The vulnerability does not require any user interaction and can be leveraged to fully compromise the device.

Affected Systems

The flaw is present in the Android Trusty component across all builds distributed via the Google Android platform, as issued in the September 2026 security bulletin. No specific release numbers are enumerated builds after that bulletin are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS v3 score of 7 denotes a medium‑to‑high severity for local privilege escalation. The EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests low exploitation likelihood, yet the absence of user interaction and the need for System privileges mean an attacker with local access could abuse the flaw. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but its impact remains significant if the device is compromised.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Android 2026‑09‑01 security patch that corrects the trusty_dputc implementation
  • Configure the device for automatic security updates or manually install the latest OS build to ensure the Trusty component is patched
  • If a patch cannot be applied immediately, restrict access to privileged services that interact with the Trusty stack and isolate the device from untrusted applications
