CVE-2025-32332
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 multiple locations, there is a possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege 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 confidenceA use-after-free vulnerability exists in multiple locations within the software, causing memory corruption that can be exploited for local privilege escalation. The flaw allows an attacker to gain elevated privileges without requiring additional execution capabilities or 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.
-
Confirm Android OS is runningCheck the operating system identifier on the device: Settings > About Phone > Device Name, or run 'getprop ro.build.version.release' via ADB shellAffected if The device is running any version of Google Android - all versions are affected per the CVE advisory
-
Identify Android security patch levelRun 'getprop ro.build.version.security_patch' via ADB shell, or check Settings > About Phone > Android security patch levelAffected if The installed security patch level predates the CVE-2025-32332 fix date; since all Android versions are affected, any patch level before the vendor fix indicates vulnerability
-
Check for vendor-specific kernel patchesReview the kernel version via 'uname -r' in ADB shell, and cross-reference with the device manufacturer's security bulletin for CVE-2025-32332Affected if The kernel version or build does not include the specific patch addressing the use-after-free vulnerability in the affected locations
-
Verify SELinux status as exploitation prerequisiteRun 'getprop ro.build.version.sdk' and check SELinux enforcement status via 'getenforce' in ADB shellAffected if SELinux is in any state - the vulnerability allows local privilege escalation which may bypass standard Android security controls; however, the vulnerability exists regardless of SELinux status on all Android versions
-
Review system logs for memory corruption indicatorsCheck dmesg or logcat for use-after-free or memory corruption errors: 'logcat -d | grep -i "use-after-free"' or 'dmesg | grep -i memory' via ADB shellAffected if Any use-after-free errors are present in logs - this indicates the vulnerable code paths are active and potentially exploitable
Since all versions of Google Android are affected, any Android device that has not received the vendor-specific patch for CVE-2025-32332 is vulnerable to local privilege escalation via the use-after-free flaw.
