System-privileged information disclosure via out-of-bounds read
Published Jan 2, 2024 · Updated May 16, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in the MediaTek battery component on Android 12.0 and 13.0 allows local users with System privileges to disclose information. The component reads beyond a buffer boundary because it lacks a bounds check; MediaTek has not disclosed the specific function or input path. Exploitation requires prior System execution privileges and no user interaction, and the reported consequence is limited to local information disclosure.
