CVE-2026-0031 is a vulnerability in the Android kernel affecting multiple functions in mem_protect.c. The flaw arises from an integer overflow that can result in an out-of-bounds write during memory protection handling. The issue is associated with kernel components, including the protected Kernel-based Virtual Machine (pKVM) context referenced in the March 2026 Android security updates. Successful exploitation can allow a local attacker to corrupt memory in kernel context and escalate privileges. The available information states that no user interaction is required and no additional execution privileges are needed to trigger the flaw.
