# Android AV1 decoder heap overflow allows local privilege escalation

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-59593 (this .md is for agents)

A heap buffer overflow in the tile_info routine of the AV1 video decoder can be triggered to escalate privileges on a device. An attacker who already runs code locally, with user interaction needed, could gain higher privileges.

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

## From the sources

In tile_info of av1_decoder, there is a possible Heap Buffer Overflow due to a heap buffer overflow. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with execution privileges needed. User interaction is for exploitation.
