AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android kernel

Description The issue is related to an incorrect bounds check in the BuildSetSignalReportCriteria function of protocolmiscbuilder.cpp, which could lead to a possible out of bounds write. This may result in local escalation of privilege, requiring System execution privileges. No user interaction is needed for exploitation.

Recommendations For Android kernel, consider applying a patch that fixes the bounds check issue in the BuildSetSignalReportCriteria function as a permanent solution. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the BuildSetSignalReportCriteria function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
