Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Qualcomm products with Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the Linux kernel of Android operating systems from the CAF repository. Disabling asserts causes an instruction inside of an assert to not be executed, resulting in incorrect control flow. This could allow a remote attacker to exploit the issue, leading to incorrect data flow management due to the disabling of checking mechanisms.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
