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
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 allows an out-of-bounds read, enabling local information disclosure without requiring elevated privileges or user interaction. This is a memory safety vulnerability where code accesses memory outside the intended buffer boundaries.

MitigationAdd proper bounds checking before memory access operations to ensure reads stay within allocated buffer limits. Validate array indices and buffer sizes prior to dereferencing.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

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 your Android version
    Go to Settings > About Phone > Android version to determine the exact OS version running on the device
    Affected if Any version is installed, as all Android versions are affected by this vulnerability
  2. Check the security patch level
    Navigate to Settings > About Phone > Security patch level to see the installed security update
    Affected if The security patch level is earlier than the fix date for CVE-2024-47034 (check Android Security Bulletin for the specific release date)
  3. Verify if the vulnerable component is present
    Review the Android Security Bulletin for CVE-2024-47034 to identify the specific kernel subsystem, driver, or system service containing the missing bounds check
    Affected if The device runs a kernel or system component version that matches the affected component listed in the security bulletin
  4. Check for kernel version details
    Use a terminal app or ADB command 'cat /proc/version' or 'uname -a' to examine the kernel version
    Affected if The kernel version falls within the range specified in the Android Security Bulletin for this CVE (if a range was provided)
  5. Confirm device receives security updates
    Check with your device manufacturer or carrier for ongoing security update support status
    Affected if The device is no longer receiving monthly security updates from the vendor

If the device runs any Android version with a security patch level prior to the fix release for CVE-2024-47034, the out-of-bounds read vulnerability is present and could allow local information disclosure without elevated privileges.
