# Android Pixel modem driver flaw lets local apps escalate privileges

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-57037 (this .md is for agents)

A missing permission check in the chpp_init.cc code lets a process trigger an out-of-bounds read that corrupts task control structures. An attacker with local code execution can escalate privileges without extra execution rights or user interaction.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## From the sources

In getChppAppState of chpp_init.cc, there is a possible way to trigger an out of bounds read and corrupt task control structures due to a missing permission check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
