Local memory disclosure via unchecked CCU read
Published Feb 4, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Out-of-bounds read in Android 8.1 through 11 allows local users with System privileges to disclose memory through the CCU component. The CCU component performs an out-of-bounds read because a required bounds check is missing; no public record identifies a narrower function. Exploitation requires System execution privileges and user interaction, and the documented consequence is local information disclosure only.
