CVE-2025-27363 originates from the FreeType open-source font rendering library. Facebook first reported its exploitation in the wild in March 2025.
A flaw in FreeType versions prior to 2.13.0 allowed out-of-bounds writes when parsing TrueType GX and variable font files, potentially leading to code execution. This issue has been fixed in versions above 2.13.0.
“There are indications that CVE-2025-27363 may be under limited, targeted exploitation,” Google acknowledged in its security bulletin. The exact specifics of the attacks are presently unknown.
Google’s May update fixes eight issues in the Android System and 15 in the Framework module that could allow privilege escalation, information disclosure, and denial-of-service attacks.
“Exploitation for many issues on Android is made more difficult by enhancements in newer versions of the Android platform,” the company said. “We encourage all users to update to the latest version of Android where possible.”
