Adjacent code execution via unchecked zero payload length
Published Jan 21, 2025 · Updated Mar 18, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in Android 12 through 15 allows physically proximate attackers to execute code through a Bluetooth GATT request. In gatts_process_read_by_type_req in gatt_sr.cc, a closed channel can make gatt_tcb_get_payload_size return zero, but response processing still writes to the zero-length output buffer. No authentication or user interaction is required within Bluetooth range, and successful execution is bounded by Android platform and service mitigations.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
