An out-of-bounds read in the RTCP packet decoder on Pixel devices could lead to remote information disclosure with user interaction.
Vulnerability
In several functions of the RTCP packet decoder on Pixel devices, a missing bounds check allows an out-of-bounds read. This vulnerability affects Android versions prior to the 2026-06-05 security patch level. The issue is present in the media framework component responsible for parsing RTCP packets [1].
Exploitation
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted RTCP packet to a target device. User interaction is required, such as the user receiving a call or media stream that triggers the vulnerable decoder. No additional execution privileges are needed [1].
Impact
Successful exploitation leads to remote information disclosure. The out-of-bounds read can leak sensitive memory contents, potentially including private data from other applications or the system [1].
Mitigation
The vulnerability is fixed in the 2026-06-05 security patch level. All supported Pixel devices should be updated to this patch level. No workarounds are available [1].
