CVE-2025-26444

In onHandleForceStop of VoiceInteractionManagerService.java, there is a bug that could cause the system to incorrectly revert to the default assistant application when a user-selected assistant is forcibly stopped due to a logic error in the code. This could lead to local escalation of privilege where the default assistant app is automatically granted ROLE_ASSISTANT with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Summary		(es) En onHandleForceStop de VoiceInteractionManagerService.java, existe un error que podría causar que el sistema revierta incorrectamente a la aplicación de asistente predeterminada cuando un asistente seleccionado por el usuario se detiene forzosamente debido a un error de lógica en el código. Esto podría llevar a una escalada de privilegios local donde a la aplicación de asistente predeterminada se le concede automáticamente ROLE_ASSISTANT sin necesidad de privilegios de ejecución adicionales. No se necesita interacción del usuario para la explotación.
