Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android kernel

Description The issue is caused by a double free in the copy process function of the Android kernel, potentially leading to memory corruption. This could allow an attacker to escalate their privileges locally without needing additional execution privileges. User interaction is not required for exploitation.

Recommendations For Android kernel, consider applying a patch to fix the double free issue in the copy process function as a permanent solution. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive areas of the kernel to minimize the risk of exploitation.
