An out-of-bounds write in the MFC core decoder of Pixel devices allows remote code execution without user interaction.
Vulnerability
In mfc_core_get_dec_metadata_sei_nal of mfc_core_reg_api.c, a missing bounds check leads to an out-of-bounds write. This vulnerability affects Pixel devices running security patch levels prior to 2026-06-05. [1]
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability remotely without authentication or user interaction. By delivering a crafted media file or stream to the device, the vulnerable codec path is triggered, resulting in the out-of-bounds write.
Impact
Successful exploitation results in remote code execution within the context of the kernel or media server, potentially leading to full device compromise.
Mitigation
Google addressed this issue in the June 2026 Pixel Update Bulletin, with a fix included in the 2026-06-05 security patch level. Users should update their devices to this patch level. No workarounds are available. [1]
