Local privilege escalation via Bluetooth response race
Published Oct 5, 2026 · Updated Oct 5, 2026
A race condition in Android 16, 16-qpr2, and 17 Bluetooth response handling allows local users to execute code with elevated privileges. The handle_app_val_response function in btif_rc.cc processes AVRCP player application-setting values; the precise operations that race have not been publicly disclosed. Exploitation requires local access to an affected Android device but no additional execution privileges or user interaction, and the reported consequence is privilege escalation.
