| Vetor | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Android versions Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18
Description
An elevation of privilege issue in the Qualcomm GPU driver could allow a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue may lead to a local permanent device compromise, potentially requiring reflashing the operating system to repair the device. The vulnerability is related to insufficient access control in the Qualcomm GPU driver.
Recommendations
For versions Kernel-3.10 and Kernel-3.18, consider restricting access to the kernel to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, limiting the execution of arbitrary code within the kernel context may help mitigate the issue. However, specific steps for these versions are not provided, so at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
