Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android versions Kernel-3.18
Description The issue is related to an information disclosure vulnerability in the HTC input driver, which could allow a local malicious application to access data outside of its permission levels. This could potentially lead to unauthorized data access. The vulnerability is rated as moderate because it first requires compromising a privileged process.
Recommendations For Android version Kernel-3.18, consider restricting access to sensitive data until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, review and limit applications with privileged process access to minimize the risk of exploitation.
