Bitdefender disclosed an Android OS vulnerability dubbed "GhostMap" where malformed ZIP entry fields in APKs cause SIGBUS crashes and persistent crash loops that survive reboot and safe mode, forcing factory resets. The flaw affects Android 10 and later, has no patch at publication, and can be weaponized by attackers to brick devices, prevent uninstall, disable security tooling, or be distributed via app updates.
