Device crash via video decoder buffer over-read
Published Jan 18, 2024 · Updated Jun 20, 2025
A buffer over-read in the UNISOC video decoder on Android 11 and 12 allows local users to crash affected devices with crafted video input. The decoder insufficiently validates input before reading a buffer, permitting a read beyond its allocated boundary. Public sources do not identify the malformed field or decoding routine; exploitation requires low-privileged local access and affects availability only.
