CVE-2022-42501

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android kernel

Description The issue is related to a missing bounds check in the HexString2Value function of util.cpp, which could lead to a possible out of bounds write. This might 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 includes a bounds check in the HexString2Value function of util.cpp to prevent out of bounds writes. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the util.cpp module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
