CVE-2024-27231

Local information disclosure via missing bounds check

Published Apr 5, 2024 · Updated Nov 25, 2024

Out-of-bounds read in the Android kernel on supported Google Pixel devices allows local users to disclose information without user interaction. The tmu_get_tr_stats function in tmu.c omits a bounds check before reading statistics data, permitting access beyond the intended buffer. Exploitation requires local access but no additional execution privileges; Google has not identified the specific data exposed.
