Google · Android · CVE-2017-0392
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Android versions 4.4.4, 5.0.2, 5.1.1, 6.0, 6.0.1, 7.0, 7.1
**Description**
The issue is related to insufficient access control in the VBRISeeker.cpp function of the libstagefright media server in the Android operating system. This can allow a remote attacker to exploit the issue and potentially compromise information confidentiality. Additionally, a remote attacker could use a specially crafted file to cause a device hang or reboot, resulting in a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
For Android versions 4.4.4, 5.0.2, 5.1.1, 6.0, 6.0.1, 7.0, 7.1, consider restricting access to the `VBRISeeker.cpp` function in the libstagefright media server as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
