Local privilege escalation via EdgeTPU bounds-check failure
Published Jun 16, 2026 · Updated Jun 16, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in Google Android's EdgeTPU kernel component allows local users to escalate privileges without user interaction. The Write operation in msg_to_host_buffer.cc applies an incorrect bounds check and writes beyond the intended buffer boundary. A low-privileged local context is required, and successful exploitation grants higher privileges on an affected device; Google has not disclosed further trigger details.
