Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions prior to 5.1.1 LMY48X

Description The issue is related to insufficient access control in the Android operating system, allowing attackers to bypass intended network-interface restrictions. This can be exploited via a crafted application, potentially leading to a denial of service, such as call-reception outage or mute manipulation, or allowing attackers to gain privileges and perform expensive data transfers.

Recommendations For Android versions prior to 5.1.1 LMY48X, update to version 5.1.1 LMY48X or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of crafted applications that could exploit this issue until a patch is applied.
