Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the 'cn_NrmmDecoder.cpp' file within the 'NrmmMsgCodec::DecodeUPUTransparentContext' function of the Google Pixel modem firmware. The flaw is caused by memory corruption during the decoding of specific network messages. A remote attacker can exploit this over the network without any special privileges or user interaction. Successful exploitation results in a crash of the communication processor, leading to a denial of service (DoS). The issue is addressed in the June 2026 Pixel Security Bulletin with patch levels 2026-06-05 or later.
