System privilege escalation via SMMU logic errors
Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026
Local privilege escalation in the Android kernel allows local users with System execution privileges to gain elevated privileges. Multiple functions in arm-smmu-v3.c contain logic errors, but Google has not published the exact faulty operations or input path. Exploitation requires local access with System execution privileges, needs no user interaction, and is bounded to privilege elevation on affected devices.

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.
