Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) says that a new Android zero-day is actively being exploited in the wild in attacks targeting vulnerable Google Pixel, Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung, Oppo, and Moto smartphones.

This zero-day is a kernel local privilege escalation (LPE) bug using a use-after-free vulnerability in the Android binder driver that can be exploited by potential attackers to get full-control of unpatched devices.
