Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Android versions (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue is related to a Use After Free condition in the Display component of the Android operating system, stemming from the CAF repository. This condition arises due to the improper handling of memory after it has been freed. An attacker, potentially acting remotely, could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of a privileged process. Additionally, the vulnerability can be triggered when a LayerStack is destroyed between the Validate and Commit operations by an application, leading to the same Use After Free condition.

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