Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-0109 is a vulnerability in the dhd_tcpdata_info_get function of dhd_ip.c, where a precondition check failure can lead to a denial of service. This issue affects the Android platform, as documented in the Android Security Bulletin and the Pixel-specific bulletin for March 2026.
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to trigger a denial of service without requiring additional execution privileges or user interaction. Exploitation is straightforward given the CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), enabling network-based attacks with low complexity that result in high availability impact but no confidentiality or integrity effects. It is associated with CWE-754 (Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions).
Mitigation details are provided in the Android Security Bulletin at https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/2026/2026-03-01 and the Pixel bulletin at https://source.android.com/docs/security/bulletin/pixel/2026/2026-03-01, which include patches for affected Android versions and devices. Security practitioners should apply these updates promptly to vulnerable systems.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation explicitly exercises unusual conditions to find missing or incorrect checks.
Input validation directly requires checking for unexpected or malformed conditions before they propagate.
Security engineering principles include structured handling of edge cases and exceptions during design.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure development practices directly require proper checks and handling for exceptional conditions throughout the SDLC.
Runtime monitoring of software and environments can detect adverse events triggered by unhandled exceptional conditions.
Generating logs of exceptions and errors enables detection of improper handling of unusual conditions.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Security testing in development and acceptance verifies handling of error and exceptional conditions.
Logging can record unhandled exceptions but does not prevent the weakness itself.
Monitoring may detect symptoms of unhandled conditions but does not eliminate the root weakness.
Secure development life cycle mandates exception handling and input validation that directly prevent missing checks for unusual conditions.
Application security requirements explicitly call for handling of exceptional conditions and error paths.
Secure system architecture and engineering principles require robust error and exception handling mechanisms.
