Summary
A stack-based buffer overflow in the Android Auto connection handler of Alpine iLX-F511 devices allows a physically present attacker to execute arbitrary code. The lack of validation of user-supplied data length before copying to a fixed-length stack buffer enables remote code execution with root privileges.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with physical access to the device can gain full control of the infotainment system, potentially leading to malware installation or data theft.
Recommendation
Update the Alpine iLX-F511 device firmware to the latest version containing the fix. Restrict physical access to the device to authorized personnel only.
Other vulnerabilities in Alpine iLX-F511
See all- CVE-2026-118611Medium
A heap-based buffer overflow in Bluetooth OBEX packet handling exists in Alpine iLX-F511 devices, caused by lack of validation of user-supplied data length before copying to a heap buffer. A physically present attacker can execute arbitrary code as root without authentication.
- CVE-2026-118610High
A stack-based buffer overflow in the Android Auto service of Alpine iLX-F511 devices allows remote code execution. The flaw results from lack of validation of user-supplied data length before copying it to a fixed-length stack buffer. A network-adjacent attacker can exploit it without authentication.
- CVE-2026-118607Medium
A command injection vulnerability in the diagapp component of Alpine iLX-F511 devices allows a physically present attacker to execute arbitrary code. The lack of validation of a user-supplied string before using it in a system call enables code execution with root privileges.
- CVE-2026-118606High
An exposed dangerous function in the framework service of Alpine iLX-F511 devices allows remote code execution. A network-adjacent attacker can exploit it without authentication. Code executes with root privileges.
- CVE-2026-118605High
A stack-based buffer overflow in the prh_sdp_service_search_decode function of Alpine iLX-F511 devices allows remote code execution. The flaw results from lack of validation of user-supplied data length before copying it to a stack buffer. The attacker must first pair a malicious Bluetooth device with the target.
- CVE-2026-118604Medium
A stack-based buffer overflow in the framework service of Alpine iLX-F511 devices allows a physically present attacker to execute arbitrary code. The lack of validation of user-supplied data length before copying to a fixed-length stack buffer enables remote code execution with root privileges.
- CVE-2026-118603High
A stack-based buffer overflow in vCard parsing on Alpine iLX-F511 devices allows remote code execution. The flaw results from lack of validation of user-supplied data before copying it to a fixed-length stack buffer. User interaction is required — the target must connect to a malicious Bluetooth device.
- CVE-2026-118602High
An exposed dangerous method in the Fiv service of Alpine iLX-F511 devices allows local privilege escalation. The attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code. Exploitation allows executing code as root.
- CVE-2026-118601Medium
A hard-coded credentials vulnerability in the SSH service of Alpine iLX-F511 devices allows a network-adjacent attacker to execute arbitrary code. No authentication is required, enabling code execution with telechips user privileges.
Original NVD description (English source)
Alpine iLX-F511 Android Auto Connection Handler Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows physically present attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Alpine iLX-F511 devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Android Auto connection handler. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-29016.
