CVE-2025-26416 is a critical heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the Android System component. The flaw is described as an out-of-bounds write in the initializeSwizzler function of SkBmpStandardCodec.cpp, caused by improper bounds handling during bitmap decoding. Memory corruption occurs when data is written past the end of a heap-allocated buffer. On affected Android 13, 14, and 15 devices, successful exploitation could enable remote elevation of privilege. The issue does not require user interaction and does not require the attacker to already hold additional execution privileges.
