CVE-2014-4325 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The cmd_boot function in app/aboot/aboot.c in the Little Kernel (LK) bootloader, as distributed with Qualcomm Innovation Center (QuIC) Android contributions for MSM devices and other products, allows attackers to bypass intended device-lock and kernel-signature restrictions by using fastboot mode in a boot command for an arbitrary kernel image.. EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
