CVE-2026-59619: AV1 codec out-of-bounds read in quantization table lookup

CVE-2026-59619 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

An AV1 video codec component used in Pixel devices has a missing bounds check that allows local attackers with system privileges to read out-of-bounds memory during video encoding. This could expose sensitive information from the device's memory.

Technologies: Google Pixel. Vendors: Google.

Technical details

A missing bounds check in the getCodecQp function of GC2AV1Enc.cpp allows an out-of-bounds read during quantization table lookup in AV1 video encoding. The vulnerability is triggered locally and requires system execution privileges; no user interaction is needed. An attacker with system privileges can read memory beyond the valid bounds of the quantization table.
