Public exploitNot knownno public code found

In Android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android, with all Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, in msm_flash_subdev_do_ioctl of drivers/media/platform/msm/camera_v2/sensor/flash/msm_flash.c, there is a possible out of bounds read if flash_data.cfg_type is CFG_FLASH_INIT due to improper input validation. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
