CVE-2025-48581 is a logic error in the Android System component affecting Android 16. The flaw is located in VerifyNoOverlapInSessions within apexd.cpp and allows an attacker to block security updates delivered through Mainline installations. The vulnerability stems from incorrect business logic or workflow validation in session overlap handling. Successful exploitation can interfere with the update process and result in local escalation of privilege. Exploitation does not require user interaction or additional execution privileges.
