Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Android kernel
Description The issue is related to an out of bounds read in the ParseWithAuthType function of simdata.cpp due to an incorrect bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege, requiring System execution privileges. No user interaction is needed for exploitation.

As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the simdata.cpp module to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
