CVE-2017-0855
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—
Severity7.5High · CVSS 3.0
Exploitation probability1.73 %higher than 77% of CVEs
Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog
Public exploitNot knownno public code found
In MPEG4Extractor.cpp, there are several places where functions return early without cleaning up internal buffers which could lead to memory leaks. This could lead to remote denial of service of a critical system process with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: 5.1.1, 6.0, 6.0.1, 7.0, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8.0. Android ID: A-64452857.
