CVE-2024-20130
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 · uneditedIn power, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS09193374; Issue ID: MSV-1982.
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 confidenceAndroid power management subsystem vulnerability allowing out-of-bounds write due to missing bounds check. Enables local privilege escalation from System privileges without user interaction.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check Android versionGo to Settings > About Phone > Android version, or run 'getprop ro.build.version.release' via ADB shellAffected if Version is exactly 14.0 or 15.0
-
Verify build number matches affected releasesRun 'getprop ro.build.display.id' or check Build number in About Phone settingsAffected if Build corresponds to Android 14.0 or 15.0 releases
-
Confirm System privileges are presentRun 'id' command via ADB shell to check current user contextAffected if User context is 'system' or higher privilege level
The device is affected if it runs Android 14.0 or 15.0 and the power management subsystem is active with System-level access available for privilege escalation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedApply vendor patch ALPS09193374 which implements proper bounds validation in the power management code to prevent the out-of-bounds write condition.
- Check if your Android device has received the March 2024 or later security patch level (or the specific patch containing ALPS09193374) by going to Settings > About Phone > Security Patch Level
- If the device has not been patched, contact your device manufacturer (OEM) to request the security update containing the MediaTek patch ALPS09193374
- For enterprise-managed devices, apply the vendor-specific MediaTek patch through your mobile device management (MDM) console once released
- Verify the patch has been applied by re-checking the Security Patch Level in Settings > About Phone > Security Patch Level
