CVE-2014-9798

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions prior to 2016-07-05 on Nexus 5 devices

Description The issue is related to the Qualcomm bootloader in Android, where the platform/msm shared/dev tree.c file does not properly check the relationship between tags addresses and aboot addresses. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an OS outage, via a crafted application.
