Status: ModifiedMedium (4.2)—
Severity4.2Medium · CVSS 3.0
Exploitation probability0.15 %higher than 4% of CVEs
Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog
Public exploitNot knownno public code found

In XBLRamDump mode, there is a debug feature that can be used to dump memory contents, if an attacker has physical access to the device. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-64610940.
