CVE-2019-9455

Status: ModifiedLow (2.3)—

In the Android kernel in the video driver there is a kernel pointer leak due to a WARN_ON statement. This could lead to local information disclosure with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).
