Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions Kernel-3.10 through Kernel-3.18

Description The issue is related to a lack of protection for internal data in kernel components, including the ION subsystem, Binder, USB driver, and networking subsystem. This could allow a local malicious application to access data outside of its permission levels. The exploitation of this issue requires a privileged process to be compromised first. It is estimated as a moderate issue.

Recommendations For Android versions Kernel-3.10 through Kernel-3.18, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue to prevent potential data access outside of permission levels. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
