CVE-2016-10486
Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—
In Android before 2018-04-05 or earlier security patch level on Qualcomm Snapdragon Automobile and Snapdragon Mobile MDM9640, MDM9645, SD 210/SD 212/SD 205, SD 450, SD 617, SD 625, SD 650/52, SD 808, SD 810, SD 820, and SD 820A, PD failure reason string from user PD is used directly in root PD, so if the buffer parameter is non-NULL terminated in Diag F3 APIs, a buffer overread occurs.
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: 1.19%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 67
- Score date: 10/4/2026
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).
