Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions Kernel-3.10

Description The issue is related to a lack of protection for service data in the ION subsystem, Binder, USB driver, and network subsystem of the Android operating system kernel. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or have other impacts on the system. It is also noted that a local malicious application could access data outside of its permission levels, but this first requires compromising a privileged process.

Recommendations For Android version Kernel-3.10, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue to prevent potential exploitation.
