CVE-2026-0107

Local privilege escalation via confused deputy

Published Mar 10, 2026 · Updated Mar 10, 2026

Confused-deputy behavior in the Android kernel allows local users to elevate privileges through the affected memory-request handler. Google identifies gmc_ddr_handle_mba_mr_req in gmc_mba_ddr.c as the locus but has not disclosed the exact incorrect operation. No additional execution privileges or user interaction are required, and successful exploitation grants elevated local privileges.
