Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions prior to 2016-04-01

Description The issue is related to an unspecified media codec in the mediaserver component of the Android operating system. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted media file. This is due to insufficient input validation.

Recommendations For Android versions prior to 2016-04-01, update the operating system to a version released after 2016-04-01 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of media files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
