Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions 5.0.x through 5.0.1 Android versions 5.1.x through 5.1.0 Android versions 6.x before 2016-07-01

Description The issue allows local users to gain privileges by establishing a Bluetooth pairing that remains present during a session of the primary user.
