Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Android versions prior to 2018-04-05 security patch level
Description
The issue is caused by an error in the calculation of the buffer size in the RPMB (Replay Protected Memory Block) handler, which can lead to a buffer overflow. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a buffer overflow. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified.
Recommendations
For Android versions prior to 2018-04-05 security patch level, update to a version with a security patch level of 2018-04-05 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the RPMB handler to minimize the risk of exploitation.
