CVE-2016-2411

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions prior to 2016-04-01

Description The issue is related to a Qualcomm Power Management kernel driver in Android, which allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted application that leverages root access. This is due to insufficient input validation, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to elevate their privileges using a specially crafted application that utilizes root access.

Recommendations For Android versions prior to 2016-04-01, consider restricting root access to minimize the risk of exploitation until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using applications that require root access to reduce the potential for privilege escalation.
