Status: ModifiedMedium (6.7)—

In thermal_cooling_device_stats_update of thermal_sysfs.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to improper input validation. This could lead to local escalation of privilege in the kernel with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android kernelAndroid ID: A-229258234References: N/A

CVSS
