Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions prior to 8.1.0

Description The issue is related to a possible use-after-free due to improper locking in the f hidg read and hidg disable functions of f hid.c. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Recommendations For Android versions prior to 8.1.0, consider restricting access to the f hidg read and hidg disable functions of f hid.c to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the f hidg read and hidg disable functions until a patch is available.
