Local information disclosure via incomplete cache cleaning
Published Mar 2, 2026 · Updated Mar 2, 2026
Information disclosure in Android 14, 15, 16, and 16-qpr2 allows local users to access protected data without user interaction. In AVF pVM firmware, jump_to_payload cleans the AArch64 data cache only to the point of unification, which can leave payload data unflushed on some system-on-chip cache designs instead of reaching main memory. Low-privileged local access is required, and no write, execution, or service-interruption capability is reported.
