CVE-2026-58845: Android kernel integer overflow in VMA padding

CVE-2026-58845 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-02

An integer overflow vulnerability in Android's kernel virtual memory management code allows a local attacker to write beyond buffer boundaries. This could enable privilege escalation without requiring special permissions or user interaction, giving an attacker full device control.

Technologies: Google Android kernel. Vendors: Google.

It is attacked with local access, in an operating system.
Am I affected by CVE-2026-58845?
Check whether you run Google Android kernel at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: Android kernel commit 3b9b40df51bda90ffb2833dcef11905e751dafdb and ed0e57e1e27a9eecd6c1a3dd1dd9ed1b8d1a06b4

Technical details

An integer overflow in VMA (virtual memory area) padding logic in the Android kernel's page size migration subsystem allows out-of-bounds memory writes. The vulnerability exists in multiple locations handling padding metadata for dynamically linked ELF binaries, particularly in vma_pad_pages() and related functions in mm/pgsize_migration.c and mm/mmap.c. Local exploitation requires no additional privileges and no user interaction.
