CVE-2015-9162
Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—
In Android before 2018-04-05 or earlier security patch level on Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile SD 410/12, SD 617, SD 650/52, SD 800, SD 808, and SD 810, in the function "Certificate_CreateWithBuffer" in the QSEE app TQS, in case of memory allocation failure, we free the memory and return the pointer without setting it to NULL.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 9.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.07%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 64
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
Affected technologies (8)
