Last modified
CVE-2014-9900 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The ethtool_get_wol function in net/core/ethtool.c in the Linux kernel through 4.7, as used in Android before 2016-08-05 on Nexus 5 and 7 (2013) devices, does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a crafted application, aka Android internal bug 28803952 and Qualcomm internal bug CR570754.. EPSS estimates a 0.52% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
