CVE-2015-9221

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—

In Android before 2018-04-05 or earlier security patch level on Qualcomm Snapdragon Mobile SD 400, SD 800, and SD 810, lack of validation of pointers passed by secure apps could lead to an untrusted pointer dereference.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).
