CVE-2025-38352 (CVSS score: 7.4): A privilege escalation flaw in the Linux Kernel component
CVE-2025-48543 (CVSS score: N/A): A privilege escalation flaw in the Android Runtime component
Google stated that both vulnerabilities can cause local privilege escalation without needing extra execution privileges. Additionally, they highlighted that no user interaction is necessary for exploitation.
The tech giant did not reveal how the issues have been weaponized in real-world attacks and if they are being put to use in tandem, but acknowledged there are indications of “limited, targeted exploitation.”
Benoît Sevens of Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) has been credited with discovering and reporting the upstream Linux Kernel flaw, indicating that it may have been abused as part of targeted spyware attacks.
Google has fixed several vulnerabilities in Framework and System components, including remote code execution, privilege escalation, information disclosure, and denial-of-service issues.
Google released two security patches, 2025-09-01 and 2025-09-05, to help Android partners fix vulnerabilities quickly across devices.
“Android partners are encouraged to fix all issues in this bulletin and use the latest security patch level,” Google said.
