CVE-2024-32911Network attack vector

Remote privilege escalation via improper cryptography

Published Jun 13, 2024 · Updated Sep 6, 2024

Improper cryptography in the modem component of Google Android allows remote attackers to escalate privileges without user interaction. Google has not disclosed which cryptographic operation, key, signature, or modem request is mishandled; the linked issue is not public. A reachable affected Pixel modem is required, and exploitation grants elevated privileges without prior execution privileges or user interaction.
