Impact

A logic error within the InputDispatcher flushSensor function in Android’s input system can be exploited to cause a local denial of service. By triggering this flaw, an attacker can continuously flush sensor inputs leading to resource exhaustion or a system crash. The vulnerability does not require elevated privileges and can be executed without user interaction.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects Android devices running Google's InputDispatcher component. No specific affected Android release versions are listed in the advisory, so any device with the vulnerable InputDispatcher code is potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The denial of service is local and does not expose sensitive data. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no observed exploitation yet. The likely attack vector is local execution on the device, potentially triggered by malicious code that can inject sensor events. Because no privileges are required, the risk is moderate, but an unpatched device could become unresponsive or restart as a result of repeated exploitation attempts.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Android security patch that addresses the InputDispatcher logic error.
  • Disable or limit unnecessary sensor access in applications to reduce the impact surface.
  • Monitor device resource usage (CPU, memory) for abnormal spikes that may indicate denial‑of‑service attempts.
