CVE-2022-42512

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android kernel

Description The issue is related to a possible out of bounds read in the VsimOperationDataExt::encode function of vsimdata.cpp due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local information disclosure, requiring System execution privileges for exploitation. No user interaction is needed for exploitation.

Recommendations For Android kernel, consider applying a patch that includes a bounds check in the VsimOperationDataExt::encode function to prevent out of bounds reads. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive information to minimize the risk of exploitation.
