CVE-2024-20075

System privilege escalation via eemgpu bounds omission

Published Jun 3, 2024 · Updated Mar 13, 2025

Out-of-bounds write in MediaTek eemgpu on Android 12.0, 13.0, and 14.0 allows local users with System privileges to gain higher access. The eemgpu component writes beyond a buffer because it omits a bounds check, but MediaTek has not disclosed the affected function or input path. Exploitation requires existing System execution privileges, needs no user interaction, and can compromise data and service integrity.
