CVE-2016-10287

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions Kernel-3.10, Kernel-3.18

Description The issue is related to an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Qualcomm sound driver, which could allow a local malicious application to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This is rated as High because it first requires compromising a privileged process. The vulnerability is also associated with insufficient access control in the Qualcomm audio driver, potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions Kernel-3.10 and Kernel-3.18, consider restricting access to the Qualcomm sound driver to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the vulnerable Qualcomm audio driver functionality until a fix is provided. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
