CVE-2014-9896

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions prior to 2016-08-05

Description The issue is related to insufficient parameter and return value checking in the drivers/char/adsprpc.c file of Qualcomm components in the Android operating system. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted application to obtain sensitive information.

Recommendations For Android versions prior to 2016-08-05, update the operating system to a version released after 2016-08-05 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the adsprpc.c driver to minimize the risk of exploitation.
