AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
An out-of-bounds read in Android's AVB key parsing (iavb_parse_key_data) allows local information disclosure without additional privileges.
Vulnerability
In iavb_parse_key_data of avb_rsa.c, improper input validation leads to an out-of-bounds read. This function is part of Android Verified Boot (AVB) and is reachable during key parsing. Affected devices include all supported Pixel devices running security patch levels prior to 2026-06-05 [1].
Exploitation
An attacker with local access to the device can trigger the vulnerability without any additional execution privileges. No user interaction is required. The attacker supplies crafted input to the AVB key parsing routine, causing an out-of-bounds read from a buffer.
Impact
Successful exploitation results in local information disclosure. The out-of-bounds read may leak sensitive memory contents, but does not provide privilege escalation or code execution.
Mitigation
The issue is fixed in the June 2026 Pixel Update Bulletin, with security patch level 2026-06-05 [1]. Users should apply the update to their devices. No workaround is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
