Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In telecom service, there is a missing permission check. This could lead to local denial of service in telecom service.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A missing permission check in the telecom service allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service. The vulnerability stems from an undocumented or improperly enforced permission boundary in the telecom subsystem, likely on Android, where a component fails to validate caller permissions before executing sensitive operations.

MitigationImplement proper permission checks in the telecom service code path, ensuring all sensitive operations validate the caller's permissions before execution. Apply the principle of least privilege to restrict access to telecom functions.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Android version
    Check the device or system settings for the Android OS version. On most devices: Settings > About Phone > Android version. Or via command line: 'getprop ro.build.version.release' or 'adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release'
    Affected if The device runs Android 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, or 13.0
  2. Confirm telecom service presence
    Verify the telecom service (com.android.server.telecom) is installed and running on the device. Use: 'adb shell dumpsys telecom' or check via Settings > Apps > Show system apps, look for 'Telecom' or 'Phone' services
    Affected if The telecom service is present and active on the device
  3. Check for exposed telecom interfaces
    Examine if any third-party apps have been granted telecom permissions (like ANSWER_PHONE_CALLS, READ_PHONE_STATE, or PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS) that could interact with the telecom subsystem. Review via: 'adb shell dumpsys package <package_name>' for installed apps
    Affected if Apps with telecom-related permissions are installed and can interact with the telecom service
  4. Verify service accessibility
    Check if the telecom service binds to any exposed binder interfaces or intents that could be reached by local apps. Use: 'adb shell service list' to list all running services and identify telecom-related entries
    Affected if The telecom service exposes binder interfaces accessible to other local applications on the device

A device is affected if it runs Android 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, or 13.0 and has the telecom service enabled, making the missing permission check exploitable by local applications.
