Description The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the QURTK write() function of the Qualcomm component in the Android operating system. This can allow a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information due to lack of input validation.

Recommendations For Android versions prior to 2018-04-05 security patch level on the specified Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms, 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 QURTK write() function until a patch is available.
