Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions prior to 2016-07-05

Description The issue is related to the Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver in Android, specifically the CORE/HDD/src/wlan hdd hostapd.c file. It involves errors in the data copying procedure, allowing attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to elevate their privileges.

Recommendations For Android versions prior to 2016-07-05, update the operating system to a version released after 2016-07-05 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the Qualcomm Wi-Fi driver until a patch is available.
