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

Description The issue is related to an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Qualcomm camera driver, which could allow a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This requires compromising a privileged process and is mitigated by current platform configurations. The vulnerability is related to insufficient access control and could potentially allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For Android versions Kernel-3.10 through Kernel-3.18, consider restricting access to privileged processes to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, review and adjust current platform configurations to mitigate the issue until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
