In function ih264d_ref_idx_reordering of libavc, there is an out-of-bounds write due to modCount being defined as an unsigned character. This could lead to remote code execution with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: 6.0, 6.0.1, 7.0, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8.0, 8.1. Android ID: A-69478425.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an Android media-processing vulnerability in libavc. A crafted input could trigger memory corruption and potentially remote code execution, but exploitation requires user interaction. The provided sources do not show active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on Android 6.0, 6.0.1, 7.0, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8.0, and 8.1 devices that have not received the relevant Android February 2018 security bulletin fixes. Treat this as high priority for legacy Android fleets. The business risk is strongest where old Android devices still process untrusted content and cannot receive vendor security updates. Mitigation focus: Apply the relevant Android February 2018 security update or later vendor-provided fixes.; Check OEM or carrier guidance for device-specific patch availability.; Prioritize unsupported Android versions for upgrade or retirement..
