Unauthenticated code execution via modem bounds check
Published Mar 10, 2026 · Updated Mar 10, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in Google Android's modem allows remote attackers to execute code without authentication or user interaction. The modem performs an incorrect bounds check before a write, allowing data outside the intended buffer; Google has not disclosed the affected routine or input. A network-delivered modem input is sufficient, and successful exploitation executes code in the modem context without additional privileges.
