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 dvfs_plugin_caller of fvp.c, there is a possible out of bounds read due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

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 bounds check in the dvfs_plugin_caller function of fvp.c allows an out of bounds read, enabling local information disclosure without requiring elevated privileges or user interaction.

MitigationAdd proper bounds validation before array access in the dvfs_plugin_caller function to prevent out of bounds reads.

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. Verify Android version is 13.0
    Run 'getprop ro.build.version.release' or check Settings > About Phone > Android version
    Affected if The version shown is exactly 13.0 (not 13.0.x, not 14 or higher)
  2. Identify fvp component presence
    Search for fvp.c or fvp-related binaries/libraries on the device using 'find / -name "*fvp*" 2>/dev/null' or check /system/lib64/
    Affected if Any fvp binary, library, or kernel module containing the dvfs_plugin_caller function is found on the device
  3. Check dvfs_plugin_caller function
    If fvp component exists, examine it with 'strings' or disassemble to locate the dvfs_plugin_caller function
    Affected if The dvfs_plugin_caller function is present and accessible without root privileges
  4. Confirm information disclosure access
    Attempt to trigger the dvfs_plugin_caller function with controlled input to verify out-of-bounds read capability
    Affected if The function can be invoked by a local unprivileged process and returns data beyond the intended buffer boundaries

A user is affected if their device runs Android exactly version 13.0 AND contains the fvp component with the vulnerable dvfs_plugin_caller function that can be triggered for out-of-bounds reads.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Add proper bounds validation before array access in the dvfs_plugin_caller function to prevent out of bounds reads.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Android 13.0 with subsequent security patch levels (consult Android Security Bulletin for specific fixed version)

  1. Check the Android Security Bulletin for CVE-2024-22010 to identify the specific Android Security Patch Level that contains the fix
  2. Apply the latest available Android security update for Android 13.0 through system settings or your device manufacturer's update channel
  3. Verify the installed Android Security Patch Level has been updated to a version that includes the fix for this vulnerability
Caveat Security updates typically have minimal breaking changes; verify app compatibility after updating
