GhostMap Android flaw can trap phones in endless reboot loops
Bitdefender Labs disclosed GhostMap, a flaw in Android's APK parsing that can crash systemserver on install and cause a repeating boot loop, with no user interaction or permissions needed. Safe mode does not help, and a factory reset is the only reliable recovery without ADB access. Google closed the first report as Won't Fix (Not Reproducible), then said the issue sits outside the security update scope and may be addressed in a future release.
Banking malware research uncovers Android bug that can crash-loop Pixel 10 phones
Bitdefender Labs built an Android app with no executable code and no permissions that puts a Pixel 10 into a crash loop when installed, without needing to be opened. The flaw, named GhostMap, lies in how Android parses the ZIP structure within an APK, and the team reproduced it on a Pixel 10 running Android 17 with an August build. Recovery may require a factory reset.
