Customers were notified of the security defect on February 2, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently no details on how the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild. However, Google acknowledged in its monthly Android security bulletin that &#8220;there are indications that CVE-2026-21385 may be under limited, targeted exploitation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s March 2026 update contains patches for a total of 129 vulnerabilities, including a critical flaw in the System component (CVE-2026-0006) that could lead to remote code execution without requiring any additional privileges or user interaction. In contrast, Google addressed one Android vulnerability in January 2026 and none last month.<\/p>\n<p>Also patched by Google are multiple critical-rated bugs: a privilege escalation bug in Framework (CVE-2026-0047), a denial-of-service (DoS) in System (CVE-2025-48631), and seven privilege escalation flaws in Kernel components (CVE-2024-43859, CVE-2026-0037, CVE-2026-0038, CVE-2026-0027, CVE-2026-0028, CVE-2026-0030, and CVE-2026-0031).<\/p>\n<p>The Android security bulletin includes two patch levels \u2013 2026-03-01 and 2026-03-05 \u2013 to give Android partners the flexibility to address common vulnerabilities on different devices more quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The second patch level includes fixes for Kernel components, as well as those from Arm, Imagination Technologies, MediaTek, Qualcomm, and Unisoc.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thehackernews.com\/2026\/03\/google-confirms-cve-2026-21385-in.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Confirms CVE-2026-21385 in Qualcomm Android Component Exploited https:\/\/thehackernews.com\/2026\/03\/google-confirms-cve-2026-21385-in.html Publish Date: 2026-03-03 02:08:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":219306,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjR_pPCmiYZpBkIhumuW9B55rXBX7U9PZto5xPxHsLBbx5EstbqXgUI-XLZkQQV8OCsdaOi5RuSapl0V4LPKX9B_8MDBqSteyX83vXpj7G8-87BBhyphenhyphen75Os_0RhTFWBL_yxr7JVwXXtZ-qdbbugAlw9MoC5mFEx0hfQMncgnDRR8tLlEMXsLiPmim2sTjzNO\/s1600\/android-exploit.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[31,27],"class_list":["post-219305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-exploit","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219305"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219305"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219307,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219305\/revisions\/219307"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
