Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions 5.0.2 through 7.1.1

Description The issue is related to insufficient access control in the libnl service of the Android operating system. It allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the Wi-Fi service using a local malicious application. This issue is rated as moderate because it requires compromising a privileged process and is mitigated by current platform configurations.

Recommendations For Android versions 5.0.2 through 7.1.1, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue, specifically to a version that utilizes libnl 3.3.0 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Wi-Fi service to minimize the risk of exploitation.
