In smp_br_state_machine_event of smp_br_main.cc, there is a possible out of bounds write due to memory corruption. This could lead to remote code execution with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android-6.0 Android-6.0.1 Android-7.0 Android-7.1.1 Android-7.1.2 Android-8.0 Android-8.1 Android ID: A-80145946.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-9446 is an Android memory corruption flaw that could allow remote code execution without user interaction. The public record names Android 6.0 through 8.1 as affected. No CVSS score is provided, but the stated impact makes unpatched legacy Android fleets a serious concern. 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 did not receive the relevant Android August 2018 security bulletin fixes or downstream vendor updates. Treat this as a high-priority legacy Android risk. The business urgency depends on whether affected versions remain in use, especially unmanaged phones, tablets, scanners, or embedded Android devices that cannot receive security updates. Mitigation focus: Update affected Android devices using vendor or carrier security releases covering the August 2018 bulletin.; Prioritize unsupported Android 6.x through 8.1 devices for retirement or isolation.; Check OEM advisories for device-specific patch availability and backport status..
