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-2018-5861 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-2018-5861/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5861/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-5861","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5861/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-5861","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qj3r-x7hh-xq49"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Android kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Incomplete partition size checks in the Android kernel allow heap overwrites during secure application loading, potentially enabling code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"qualcomm","cpe":[{"product":"android","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-704","name":"Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast"}],"description":"In all android releases(Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android) from CAF using the linux kernel, existing checks in place on partition size are incomplete and can lead to heap overwrite vulnerabilities while loading a secure application from the boot loader.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-5861","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"google:android","products":["google:android"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android","id":"CVE-2018-5862"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android","id":"CVE-2018-5860"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-11-27","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Google Pixel Improper Authorization","id":"CVE-2026-58704","kev_date_added":"2026-09-16","published":"2026-09-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Android Runtime Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2025-48543","kev_date_added":"2025-09-04","published":"2025-09-04"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Android Framework Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-35674","kev_date_added":"2023-09-13","published":"2023-09-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Android Framework Integer Overflow","id":"CVE-2025-48595","kev_date_added":"2026-06-02","published":"2026-06-01"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Android Pixel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2024-32896","kev_date_added":"2024-06-13","published":"2024-06-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Android Framework Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-48572","kev_date_added":"2025-12-02","published":"2025-12-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Android Pixel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2024-29748","kev_date_added":"2024-04-04","published":"2024-04-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Incomplete partition size checks in the Android kernel allow heap overwrites during secure application loading, potentially enabling code execution or privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5861/"}
