CVE-2024-27227Network attack vector

Remote code execution via malicious DNS response

Published Mar 11, 2024 · Updated Mar 25, 2025

Remote code execution in Google Android 13 and Pixel builds before 2024-03-05 allows remote attackers to execute code through the modem. The modem's DNS-response handling performs out-of-bounds memory reads and writes when parsing a malicious response; Google has not published the private bug or exact faulty operation. No privileges or user interaction are required, and successful memory corruption allows code execution in the modem's context.
