CVE-2020-0406

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—

In libmpeg2dec, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege if another exploit allowed this to be triggered with different parameters, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-11Android ID: A-137794014

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).
