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

Description The issue is related to insufficient access control in the Qualcomm Seemp driver component of the Android operating system. It may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. This is an elevation of privilege issue that could enable a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel, but it first requires compromising a privileged process.

Recommendations For Android version Kernel-3.18, consider restricting access to the Qualcomm Seemp driver to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
