CVE-2018-9499

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—
Severity5.5Medium · CVSS 3.0
Exploitation probability0.30 %higher than 22% of CVEs
Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog
Public exploitNot knownno public code found

In readVector of iCrypto.cpp, there is a possible invalid read due to uninitialized data. This could lead to local information disclosure from the DRM server with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android-7.0 Android-7.1.1 Android-7.1.2 Android-8.0 Android-8.1 Android-9.0 Android ID: A-79218474
