# Android HEVC decoder: buffer overflow lets a local app gain privileges

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-95397 (this .md is for agents)

A buffer overflow in the HEVC video decoder's sub-layer HRD parameter parsing can corrupt memory outside the heap. A local attacker who can already run code can use it to escalate privileges.

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

## From the sources

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