It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2018-11278 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2018-11278 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Google Android, published on 18 Sep 2018. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-11278 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Google Android. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-11278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11278/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-11278","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jjwv-9v54-84jw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Qualcomm Android kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing bounds check in the Venus hardware decoder allows attackers to cause a page fault and denial of service via crafted bit streams.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"qualcomm","cpe":[{"product":"android","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"In all android releases (Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android) from CAF using the linux kernel, Venus HW searches for start code when decoding input bit stream buffers.
