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

Description The issue is related to insufficient access control in the Qualcomm audio driver of the Android operating system. It allows 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 versions Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18, consider restricting access to the Qualcomm audio driver until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the audio driver functionality until a fix is provided. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
