Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Android for MSM versions prior to the fixed version
QRD Android versions prior to the fixed version

For Android for MSM, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue.
For QRD Android, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue.
For Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the positioning functionality until a patch is available.
